I want to send a dynamically generated image, created with quickChart, with email in php. For testing i created the chartConfig in the quickChart Sandbox, everything is fine. When i copypaste the config to my php an start it, then i get ChartError: Error: unexpected identifier - 18:26. I don’t get it what the problem is. Here is my code:
$chartConfig = '{
type: "horizontalBar",
data: {
labels: ["Sei perfekt", "Streng dich an", "Sei schnell", "Sei gefaellig", "Sei stark"],
datasets: [
{
backgroundColor: ["#97cc64", "#97cc64", "#97cc64", "#97cc64", "#97cc64"],
data: [26, 30, 25, 26, 25],
barThickness: 30,
},
{
backgroundColor: ["#ffd050", "#ffd050", "#ffd050", "#ffd050", "#ffd050"],
data: [null, 10, null, null, null],
barThickness: 30,
},
{
backgroundColor: ["#fd5a3e", "#fd5a3e", "#fd5a3e", "#fd5a3e", "#fd5a3e"],
data: [null, 5, null, null, null],
barThickness: 30,
},
],
},
options: {
legend: {
position: "bottom",
labels: {
generateLabels: (chart) => [
{
text: "Gesund",
fillStyle: "#97cc64",
},
{
text: "Uebermaessig",
fillStyle: "#ffd050",
},
{
text: "Negativ",
fillStyle: "#fd5a3e",
},
],
},
},
scales: {
xAxes: [
{
stacked: true,
ticks: { min: 0, max: 50, display: true },
gridLines: { display: true },
},
],
yAxes: [{ stacked: true, gridLines: { drawBorder: false } }],
},
},
}';
$chartUrl = 'https://quickchart.io/chart?w=500&h=300&c=' . Urlencode($chartConfig);
$chartUrl is then added to my html. But instead the chart, i get the error image in the email.
Thank you!
If you say that my chartConfig is fine and with the chartConfig from the homepage the email is fine…everything should be fine?! 
If you can grab that URL or the raw email, we’ll be able to tell what’s wrong with the chart configuration in the email.
