What are the differences between vector and pixel graphics, and how do they impact the display of data from PHP in Flash?

Vector graphics are based on mathematical equations to create shapes and lines, allowing for scalability without loss of quality. Pixel graphics, on the other hand, are made up of individual colored squares, which can result in loss of quality when resized. When displaying data from PHP in Flash, using vector graphics would be preferred as they can be scaled without losing quality, ensuring a crisp and clear display. 

<?php

// Sample PHP code to generate a vector graphic in Flash
header("Content-type: image/svg+xml");

echo '<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="100" height="100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect width="100" height="100" style="fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)" />
</svg>';
