hey sal:

You seem to really know your PHP. This is a bit OT from this thread, but would you happen to know of any good PHP/CSS way of creating really professional looking charts/graphs?

I'm currenly using Flash graphs right now which look spectacular but I really want to get away from flash and just use charts that can be outputted to PNG or JPG format.

I've seen a couple of the popular PHP ways to generate graphs and they just don't look clean and sharp. What I mean, is they look pixelated.

I know this is kind of a loaded question, but if you are familiar of any ways to make really need looking charts in PHP, please let me know!

i can scour around and provide to you the "look and feel" of what I'm looking for and you can let me know if this is possible or not..
