Php – Pure PHP rrdtool

PHPrrdtool

does anyone know a pure-php implementation of rrdtool? I googled this question, but only found answers about interfacing PHP & rrd…

I think it probably defeats the purpose. While I see the attraction to having such a useful tool in a language you can tweak/edit, I think RRDtool's incredible usefulness came from it being in C++ - thus incredibly fast and scalable. Implementing the same in PHP would of course be possible but would be cumbersome.

Haven't found any PHP alternatives other than interfaces, as you said. Maybe use something like Cacti for all the data handling and then write a custom grapher.
