Do I need MariaDB to build PHP dashboards with KPIs and top borrowed items?

Yes, MariaDB is required to build PHP dashboards with KPIs and top borrowed items. The workflow queries MariaDB to retrieve active loans, overdue fines, catalog sizes, and top books for operational decision-making.

How do I render SVG charts server-side for library reports?

You render SVG charts server-side using a dedicated charting service that operates without JavaScript. This allows your PHP reports to include visual data representations that remain fully printable and viewable offline.

What is the best way to analyze overdue items and fines in a PHP library system?

The best way to analyze overdue items and fines in a PHP library system is through server-side report generation. This method queries MariaDB for date-range filtering and inventory analytics, outputting the results as dashboard KPIs or CSV exports.

What are the limitations of server-side SVG charts in PHP data exports?

Server-side SVG charts in PHP data exports require a lightweight cache layer and MariaDB for queries, limiting their use in environments without database support. They also avoid client-side interactivity, focusing strictly on static printable reporting.
