Browser-side:
jquery can do alot with HTML tables to transform the info into nice graphs, but beware they may not print or email easily....google "jquery graphing html table" or something like that...

some examples:

(click on "show capacities")Some jquery examples use a browser feature called "canvas" which is not default supported by IE (or course!), there are work-arounds, but if your IE users are not geeks, it may confuse them....
BUT not all of the jquery graphing stuff uses canvas, so just test in IE if your users use IE...
server-side: otherwise, there are some PHP/GD libraries that can generate PNG or GIF files, but they require server config and are alot more work
Flash-wise, there are some free and/or cheap ways to do this, but they are not easily printed and some are harder to customize than others, and many are "too flashy" and I found myself having to clean and simplify them too much for my tastes and timeline....
