I'm trying to display a line chart of currency rates via google charts.
Basically i have 2 type of values:
- Date (format iso8601)
- Rate (decimal number)
when i'm trying to render the chart i get an error: "Uncaught (in promise) Error: Unknown header type: 4.7278”
Here is my code:
PHP array making:
$xml=simplexml_load_file('https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/html/usd.xml') or die("Error: Cannot create object");
$arrayForChart[] = ["Date","Rate"];
foreach ($xml->DataSet->Series->Obs as $key => $value) {
$dateIso8601Format=(string)$value['TIME_PERIOD'];
$rateForDate=(string)$value['OBS_VALUE'][0];
$rateForDate=(float)$rateForDate;
$arrayForChart[] = [$dateIso8601Format,$rateForDate];
}
$arrayForChart = json_encode($arrayForChart);
Javascript
var arrayForChart;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: ajaxUrl,
//data: {configuration: Config },
success: function (data) {
arrayForChart = data;
arrayForChart = $.map(arrayForChart, function (el) {
return el;
});//converting js object to js array
},
cache: false
});
google.charts.load("current", {packages: ["corechart", "line"]});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawLineColors);
function drawLineColors() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([arrayForChart]);
var options = {
hAxis: {
title: "Rate",
id: "Rate",
label: "Rate",
type: "number"
},
vAxis: {
title: "Date",
id: "Date",
label: "Date",
type: "string"
},
colors: ["#a52714", "#097138"]
};
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById("chart_div"));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
Sample of data:
["Date","Rate","2011-01-03",4.7278,"2011-01-04",4.7301,"2011-01-05",4.6814,"2011-01-06",4.6635]
Anybody might know what is the problem?
Many thanks!
