Get images from Highcharts PHP Laravel

Good day, folks.

I am making something like CRM in Laravel, where users can see graphs and other cool stuff by Highcharts (based on their statistics). I also want to send them statistics each month in PDF (on email).

https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-snappy is great at making PDF.

However, then comes the problem: I want to include images from Highcharts to these PDF's. But Highcharts is a JS library. And it really provides function for exporting images from graphs.

So really the question is: 'How can I (inside Laravel/PHP) get images, which are created by JS?'

Maybe I must run also JS server like Node.js (I don't know, haven't experience with it) and somehow get images from it?

You will need to save your images generated by Highcharts with the export module (http://www.highcharts.com/docs/export-module/export-module-overview).

Once the image is saved in the server, then you can access them using PHP.

I hope it helps you!
