Have been dreaming to get some analytics published in a webapp.
I see potential if we can get a front-end (prefarably a webapp) for showing kdb analytics. First one, may be eazy is to get vwap curves.
Began looking into using some opensource. On my Vista desktop:
*) Installed Apache httpd
*) Installed PHP 5
*) Got some help installing/integrating these two products from
php.net
apachelounge
Basically had to update httpd.conf with below info, and set PATH to point to my PHP IniDir
#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir "C:\\work\\PHP\\"
LoadModule php5_module "C:\\work\\PHP\\php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
start httpd.
*) Then found this interesting piece of work:
Charts
Really simple to learn and clean to try out.
Got this one now display charts using the XML files, now need to think about how to generate xml data from kdb queries.
A lot of cool stuff to learn in web app world, seems
PHP Intro is good place to start learning php
