Chapter 6. Integrating with Server-side Scripts
Harry's appetite for data visualization has been growing since he saw his first chart. He loves the fact that technology can help him get more insights into his business, and he wants to stretch it further. Till now, whenever Harry needed a chart, we had to manually request data from Harry's team, convert it to FusionCharts XML or JSON format, and then build the chart for Harry. This would result in a time lag, which Harry now wants to eliminate.
Harry is curious to know if we can connect the charts directly to his databases and create them dynamically, so that whenever he views the chart, it shows the latest data. We will help him discover and execute his goal using FusionCharts. We will help him build dynamic charts that are connected to his database using a server-side script, and hence are always up-to-date without requiring any manual effort.
