I personally would use PHP (http://www.php.net/) to accomplish this
goal. The PHP project has a GD interface which allows you to
dynamically create images. You could also generate the graph using
gnuplot and display the image using PHP. You can find a graphing
example at http://phplib.shonline.de/ (get PHPLIB-6). It also has some
fairly good session management and form management routines. I'm not
sure if they are including a db_pgsql.inc, but I've made my own (this
will make more since as you look at PHPLIB). Let me know if you have
any questions.
