If you don't want to mess with creating png images or going through the GD library, here are a couple of scripts to try:

You could do as teammatt3 suggested and download the scripts, take them apart and see what makes them run.

Wow that does help, but now I'm thinking maybe stick to plain text display...lol

I know nothing about php but you could download a script similar to the one you are trying to make, look at the code and see what you have to do

Yeah, but I'm wanting to create my own...for ease of use, customization, and to better my understanding of PHP (I'm all about doing it my way!)

I guess my question is...how do I create graphics on the fly such as a bar graph using PHP?

You are wanting to create a graph from the voting results then?

There are some scripts at http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Graphs_and_Charts/ that can create charts and graphs using php.

Would any of these do what you want?

Oops that math is my fault...but what I am looking for is a graphical representation

When I voted I got:
Voting Results

Yes:**0/2
No:**2/2
Maybe:**1/2

Something's showing up, but the numbers do seem a little... funny.

How do you have it posting to and reading from your db?
