    I would like to create dynamic charts using PHP and I have got two options for that.

    - Create Image
    - Create Flash

    Create Image:
    Pros: Built-in PHP GD Library will let me do this.
    Cons: To create 3d effects, it is processor intensive and is bad for site with high traffic

    Create Flash
    Pros: Looks great in 3D.
    Cons: Custom libraries required and I dont know which are they & which is best?

    I want to go with flash but not sure how to create dynamic charts in flash using PHP.
    - Is anyone out there who has done this stuff here?
    - Is this as processor intensive as image?
    - Is the flash file larger than image?

    fyi,

    Upon doing some research, I came up with couple of solutions...
    maani.us
    ming.sourceforge.net

    Currently, I might go with maani.us as it has one common swf file and uses xml file to generate graphs.
