<p>We'll cover the following examples here:</p>
<ol>
<li>Creating a simple chart using FusionCharts PHP Class </li>
<li>Creating a chart with external XML file created using FusionCharts PHP Class</li>
</ol>
<p>Let's quickly see each of them. <strong>Before you proceed with the contents in this page, we strictly recommend you to please go through the section "How FusionCharts works?".</strong> </p> </td>
