Trying to produce HighCharts with data from MySQL. Parsing data from MySQL using PHP and the json_encode function. Problem: No data on chart.
This is my javascript:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Highcharts Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'spline'
},
series: [{}]
};
$.getJSON('json.php', function(data) {
options.series[0].data = data;
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
});
</script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="max-width: 500px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>
</body>
</html>
This is my json.php:
<?php
$host = "localhost:3306";
$user = "removed";
$pass = "removed";
$dbname = "removed";
$connection = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $dbname);
$query = "SELECT temp, time from vejr where time > '2016-04-25 06:14:23'";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
$emparray = array();
while($row =mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$emparray[] = $row;
}
echo json_encode($emparray);
?>
This is the output from the json.php:
[{"temp":"1.6","time":"2016-04-25 08:14:23"}, {"temp":"2.6","time":"2016-04-25 09:14:23"},{"temp":"3.6","time":"2016-04-25 10:14:23"},{"temp":"4.6","time":"2016-04-25 11:14:23"}, {"temp":"5.6","time":"2016-04-25 12:14:23"},{"temp":"6.6","time":"2016-04-25 13:14:23"},{"temp":"7.6","time":"2016-04-25 14:14:23"},{"temp":"8.6","time":"2016-04-25 15:14:23"}]
What I'm trying to do is a chart with time (fx 2016-04-25 08:14:23) on the x-axis, and the value (fx 1.6) on the y-axis.
Got inspiration from this: http://www.highcharts.com/docs/working-with-data/custom-preprocessing#3
And also, I know that my timestamp on the x-axis is not perfect, it is long (2016-04-25 08:14:23), but that is what my feeding-software currently is sending to my MySQL. What would be perfect?
Kind Regards
