Create a barchart with PHP

This code uses data taken from a MYSQL database and makes a barchart from it. The PHP install on the webserver has to be compiled with the GD, Freetype2, and libjpeg (libpng looks better for graphs IMHO). To make the graph appear just access it like its a picture file in html.
<?
// Example of html to access the bar graph in html: 

//db connection info.
$dbuser = 'db';

$dbhost = 'database.here.com';

$dbpass = 'poe23451!@#';

$dbname = 'test';

$dbtble = 'info';

$mysql_link = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass) or die ("Could not connect"); //connect to db

mysql_select_db ($dbname) or die ("DB select failed"); //select db

$query1 = "select productname, count(*) as groupcount from product group by productname"; //get product count by groups of products

$query2 = "select count(*) as countammount from product"; //get the ammount of products in the db

$result1 = mysql_db_query($dbname,$query1); //queryresult1

$result2 = mysql_db_query($dbname,$query2); //queryresult2

$num_products = mysql_num_rows($result1); //count number of products

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc ($result2)) //put ammount of products from query in a var
{
$countammount = $row[countammount];
}
