I have a program that I've built using php/mysql where the user can choose different options at the beginning, such as to compare data from a specific date range or to compare year by year data by selecting which years to compare. Once the user chooses an option and either inputs the date range or selects what years to compare, I use php to pull the data from a mysql database and display it in html tables. All of the html is generated with php.
I have Highcharts set up to use the data from the html tables to generate a chart by including a set of functions beneath the php block. The problem is, the chart function I put first will generate while the ones below wont.
For example, when I put the date range charts first in the script, those charts will generate on the page when a user selects the date range option. But if they select the year-by-year option, that chart won't show up. If I switch the order of the chart functions in the script then when a user selects the date range functions they get all the html tables but no chart, while if they select the year-by-year option the chart shows up fine.
Something is conflicting in my code but I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Can anyone help?
