Red5 Analytics Demo
Red5 Analytics Demo is a web based application I have built using PHP as the Server back-end and a browser based front-end using the excellent Ext JS Javascript Framework.
The application demonstrates the use of several useful technologies:
- The Google Analytics Data Export API.
- The Google Analytics API PHP Class developed by Chris Hope.
- The excellent Open Flash Chart 2 Flash charting component. This component is used for the majority of the charts.
- The Google Visualization API used for the GEO Map as Open Flash Chart doesn’t currently support this. Also the Google Chart API has been used for the sparklines and for the GEO Map chart in the PDF Reports.
- The FPDP Library is used for the generation of the PDF files on the server.
The demo can be viewed at Red5 Analytics Demo.
The demo by default uses the Google Analytics Data from this site however you can change it to view the data from any analytics account using the settings dialog:
Just enter the account details and select one of the accounts from the accounts drop down and the data will be fetched for that account.
The account details are stored in a cookie and the password is encrypted and never passed in plain text.

very cool
Your Analytics Demo is really nice, however the code examples you posted are a bit “weird”.
For example I can’t generate Pie Chart with Open Flash Chart, because:
$pievalue->set_text(”Search Engines”);
there is no such function like set_text()
$legend = new legend();
$legend->set_position( ‘right’ );
$legend->set_margin( 10 );
$legend->set_padding( 10 );
there is not such class like legend.
I tried all possible versions of Open Flash Chart and didn’t fund these functions/classes.
How did you do that? Did you add these by yourself to your copy of OFC?
hallo,
Sorry the examples where not clearer, and yes I do use a patched version from
