Free fundraising campaign thermometer for Web page
Howard Lake | 27 July 2004 | News
If you want to add a fundraising campaign thermometer to your Web pages to indicate the campaign’s progress, we’ve come across a PHP-based open source facility that does that at no charge.
Entropyfarm’s fundraising thermometer can be used in two ways. First, you can type in your fundraising goal and current amounts, and save the resulting graphic from their Web site. Secondly, you can copy the PHP code to your server. Both generate a graphic with the relevant figures and currency.
Indeed, you can choose to display your figures in one of five currencies, including sterling and euros.

Some of the many users of the thermometer haven’t stopped at the Web. Some say they’ve used it in newsletters and Word documents.
As with any open source tool you are encouraged to make a donation if you choose to use it.
