Charting with PHP and Exporting to PDF

Question

I am looking for suggestions for creating graphs with PHP. I would also like to be able to export these graphics to a PDF document.

I currently use Google graphics, but I don’t like the idea of ​​sending all my information to Google. I would prefer my own hosting solution.

I have seen many Flash solutions, but I don’t know how to export SWF to PDF.

Any pointers really appreciated.

Thanks.
