Gnuplot with PHP

[Mag Gam]

Is it possible to use GNUPlot with PHP? I would like to get interactive
plot ranges, instead of someone telling me the range of data, I would
like to input start, finish in a text box, and have gnuplot, plot the
data for me.

TIA

I use pear::image_gra ph to generate the graph ( and pear::db to get it
out of the database ) on
http://www.diamondharbour.org.nz/Local%20Weather.html and it's pretty easy
to use. Documentation isn't too hot though...

I am using it in cgi(linux shell - http://split.pmfst.hr). I think it can
be used in php like I'm using povray
system("povray fname.pov -O'fname.png' +H80 +W100");
