Well, that worked.  It took much hacking and stuff but I have it working
now.

Anyway, the result is now up at: "chart.php" on

http://cod.homelinux.org/C/

including a sample "graphit.php".  It's funny, it works on my home server
but not on my webserver.  Must figure out why...

Thanks all for your advice...
