PHP Worldbank Growth of Merchandise Trade Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve said it before, and (no doubt) we’ll say it again … there are great public data sources out there for you to explore.<\/p>\n

As far as international data goes the Worldbank<\/a> series of statistics is great, so, thanks.<\/p>\n

Today we combine the Worldbank data for Growth of Merchandise Trade 2003-2013<\/a> with the wonderful Google Chart<\/a> Bubble Chart to create (52 = (first letters of country name) 26 x 2 (concepts: Exports and Imports)) reporting charts of interest, we hope. Again, as with any reporting subject, it is a personal thing, whether the subject matter of a report is of interest, but you could say that about so many things in life.<\/p>\n

So, we offer some PHP source code you could call growth_of_merchandise_trade.php<\/a> and a live run<\/a> link as well, the full loading of which requires patience.<\/p>\n

Stop Press<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Tomorrow we go over what was needed to change PHP code above to be more mobile friendly …<\/p>\n
