I started phpchartPlus back in 2003 when i was trying to learn graphics programming with php and gd. At that time i was reading the various on-line GD tutorials and wanted to implement a small chart class to graph some data.

I add features and organize things as they come to mind. Therefore the vitality and evolution of the project depends also on your own feature requests and comments. Some features planned for inclusion in a feature release are:
