How can data retrieved from external sources be visually represented in PHP?

To visually represent data retrieved from external sources in PHP, you can use various charting libraries such as Google Charts, Chart.js, or Plotly. These libraries allow you to create interactive and visually appealing charts and graphs to display the data in a meaningful way. 

// Example using Google Charts to display data retrieved from an external source
<html>
<head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['corechart']});
    google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);

    function drawChart() {
      var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
        ['Task', 'Hours per Day'],
        ['Work', 11],
        ['Eat', 2],
        ['Commute', 2],
        ['Watch TV', 2],
        ['Sleep', 7]
      ]);

      var options = {
        title: 'My Daily Activities'
      };

      var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('piechart'));

      chart.draw(data, options);
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="piechart" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
