What are some common pitfalls when creating maps or charts using PHP?

One common pitfall when creating maps or charts using PHP is not properly handling data formatting or structure, which can lead to errors or incorrect visualizations. To solve this, ensure that your data is properly formatted and organized before passing it to the map or chart generation functions.

// Example of properly formatting data before creating a chart using PHP
$data = [
    ['Month', 'Sales'],
    ['January', 1000],
    ['February', 1500],
    ['March', 2000]
];

// Create a new chart object
$chart = new Chart();

// Pass the formatted data to the chart object to generate the chart
$chart->generateChart($data);
