    Hello,

    I am new to CanvasJS. I hope someone can help me out.

    I have a MySQL database on my computer with weather data from my Arduino weather station
    I followed the example from this site ( link). It was suggested to make a php file to get the data from the database which I think works fine. I get a bunch of JSON code if I call the php.file.
    And a html file to display the chart. When I call the html file the char loads in the browser but there is no data in the chart.

    weather

    Here is my code:

    PHP

    <?php

mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);

header('Content-Type: application/json');

$dbusername = "test1";  
$server = "localhost"; 

$con = mysqli_connect($server ,$dbusername, "", "bmetest" );

// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno($con))
{
    echo "Failed to connect to DataBase: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}else
{
    $data_points = array();
    
    $result = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT time, temperature FROM sensor");
    
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
    {        
        $point = array("time" => $row['time'] , "temperature" => $row['temperature']);
        
        array_push($data_points, $point);        
    }
    
    echo json_encode($data_points, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
}
mysqli_close($con);

?>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {

            $.getJSON("http://localhost:80/test/data.php", function (result) {

                var chart = new CanvasJS.Chart("chartContainer", {
				
					title:{
						text:"Weather station"
	},
                    data: [
                        {
                            type: "line",
							dataPoints: result
                        }
                    ]
                });

                chart.render();
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>

    <div id="chartContainer" style="width: 800px; height: 380px;"></div>

</body>
</html>

    Thank you for your help :)

    @jerry_k7,

    CanvasJS accepts only numeric or dateTime in x-values and numeric in y-values. Assigning numeric values to time and temperature values of point array $point = array("time" => $row['time'] , "temperature" => $row['temperature']); , should work fine in your case.

    If this doesn’t solve your issue, kindly create a sample project reproducing the issue you are facing and share it over Google-Drive or Onedrive along with the sample database, so that we can look into your code, understand it better and help you out.

    Hey,

    thank you for your help. I still cannot make it work.
    I created a new simple dummy database just few rows to test everything. And the graph is still empty
    This time I took the id from the database and the temperature.
    So the json output was: [{"id":1,"temp":23},{"id":2,"temp":28},{"id":3,"temp":20},{"id":4,"temp":44},{"id":5,"temp":10}] The values were only numeric.
    But the chart is still empty.

    Here is the link to my Google Drive with the required files. Link
    Thank you for your help.

    @jerry_k7,

    dataPoints can accept [{"x": 1, "y": 23},...] or labels and few other properties like indexLabel, color, etc and not as id and temp. Changing $point = array("id" => $row['id'] , "temp" => $row['temp']); to $point = array("x" => $row['id'] , "y" => $row['temp']); in data.php should work fine in your case. Please download the updated sample code here.
