In this tutorial, I will explain how to populate dynamic column chart in PHP using Google chart API step by step. Google charts provide the flexibility to use the dynamic data using PHP inside the javascript code. With the help of Google chart, we can show the real-time data from the database in a graphical way, and also we can customize the graph as per our choice.

Below are the key points to know before using the Google chart

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script> <script> google.charts.load('current', {packages: ['corechart']}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); </script>

The first line of code indicates that it will load the loader for all chart types.

After the loader loads, you can call the google.charts.load function one or more times to load the chart type you want to display.

The current inside the function indicates the latest versions of released charts from Google and the corechart includes all the charts such as bar chart, column chart, pie chart, donut chart, etc.

var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ["Column1", "Column2"], ['Value1','Value2'], ]);
