Hi,
From what I can see you are trying to parse text file on the server side which is not required – we can do it on the client side itself. At the same time you have included PHP code inside javascript loop which will not work.
<?php echo $parts[i] ?>
Here is an example that I have created which parses your text file on the client side.
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-2.1.1.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function () { var dataPoints = []; //Replace text file's path according to your requirement. $.get("testgraph.txt", function(data) { var x = 0; var allLines = data.split('\n'); if(allLines.length > 0) { for(var i=0; i< allLines.length; i++) { dataPoints.push({x: x , y: parseInt(allLines[i])}); x += .25; } } var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer",{ title :{ text: "Chart using Text File Data" }, data: [{ type: "line", dataPoints : dataPoints, }] }); chart.render(); }); } </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.canvasjs.com/canvasjs.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="chartContainer" style="height: 300px; width: 100%;"></div> </body> </html>
