So far, my botframe.php is as follows: > Actually, after reading the documentation, it doesn't seem like it's possible to dynamically create a line chart in real time while data is being generated. It seems like that I need to create a large array for the 400+ points and then after the data has been generated, then I create the graph using the array. While I'm still confused as to which should be 'responsible' for creating a dynamic real-time line chart? PHP or Javascript or...? Perhaps I'm still not clear on 'what' PHP is, but as far as I can determine, it's a server side language, and thusly, can it not (server side wise) create a graph while the client watches? Ed
