What are some common errors when using jpgraph and MySQL queries in PHP?

One common error when using jpgraph and MySQL queries in PHP is not properly handling the data retrieved from the database before passing it to jpgraph for graph generation. Make sure to sanitize and validate the data to prevent any SQL injection attacks or unexpected results in the graph. 

// Example of properly handling data retrieved from MySQL before passing it to jpgraph

// Perform MySQL query to retrieve data
$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Fetch data and store in arrays
$data = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $data[] = $row['column_name'];
}

// Sanitize and validate data
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
    $data[$key] = htmlspecialchars($value);
}

// Pass sanitized data to jpgraph for graph generation
// Example code for generating a graph with jpgraph
