What are the potential issues or conflicts with using different charting libraries in PHP?

One potential issue with using different charting libraries in PHP is compatibility problems between the libraries. To solve this, you can create a wrapper function that standardizes the input and output data format for the different charting libraries. This way, you can easily switch between libraries without having to rewrite your charting code. 

function createChart($data, $type, $library) {
    if($library == 'library1') {
        // Convert data to library1 format
        // Create chart using library1
    } elseif($library == 'library2') {
        // Convert data to library2 format
        // Create chart using library2
    } else {
        throw new Exception('Invalid library specified');
    }
}

// Example usage
$data = [10, 20, 30, 40];
$type = 'line';
$library = 'library1';

createChart($data, $type, $library);
