Using Datetime as values on X axis in google charts

Question

I'm using bitcoin price data and datetime from a MySQL table. For some strange reason, it is putting the same date for every x value, and the y values are skewed and seem out of order. The most recent Y value should be the current price. Here is the code I am using to create the chart:

function drawAxisTickColors() {
  var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
  data.addColumn('number', 'Price');
  data.addColumn('datetime', 'Date');
  var dateArr2 = (<?php echo json_encode($dateArr); ?>).reverse();
    for (i = 0; i < dateArr2.length; i++) {
        dateArr2[i] = dateArr2[i].split(/[- :]/);
      }
  var bitcoinArr = (<?php echo json_encode($bitcoinPriceArr); ?>).reverse();
  console.log(bitcoinArr[0]);
  var length = Math.min(dateArr2.length, bitcoinArr.length);
  var rows = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
   rows.push([bitcoinArr[i], new Date(dateArr2[i])]);
  }
    data.addRows(rows);

I think the reason only one date is used on the chart has something to do with how I'm using the javascript array dateArr2 in PHP.

Modified code from satoshindex.com page:

 google.load('visualization', '1', {packages: ['corechart', 'line']}); google.setOnLoadCallback(drawAxisTickColors); function drawAxisTickColors() { var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('number', 'Price'); data.addColumn('datetime', 'Date'); // var dateArr2 = (<?php echo json_encode($dateArr); ?>).reverse(); var dateArr2 = (["2015-12-27 23:51:21","2015-12-27 23:51:02","2015-12-27 23:50:41","2015-12-27 23:50:21","2015-12-27 23:50:01","2015-12-27 23:49:41","2015-12-27 23:49:21","2015-12-27 23:49:01","2015-12-27 23:48:41","2015-12-27 23:48:21","2015-12-27 23:48:01","2015-12-27 23:47:41","2015-12-27 23:47:21","2015-12-27 23:47:01","2015-12-27 23:46:42","2015-12-27 23:46:22","2015-12-27 23:46:02","2015-12-27 23:45:41","2015-12-27 23:45:21","2015-12-27 23:45:01","2015-12-27 23:44:41","2015-12-27 23:44:21","2015-12-27 23:44:01","2015-12-27 23:43:41","2015-12-27 23:43:21","2015-12-27 23:43:01","2015-12-27 23:42:41","2015-12-27 23:42:21","2015-12-27 23:42:01","2015-12-27 23:41:41","2015-12-27 23:41:21","2015-12-27 23:41:01","2015-12-27 23:40:41","2015-12-27 23:40:21","2015-12-27 23:40:02","2015-12-27 23:39:41","2015-12-27 23:39:21","2015-12-27 23:39:01","2015-12-27 23:38:41","2015-12-27 23:38:21","2015-12-27 23:38:01","2015-12-27 23:37:41","2015-12-27 23:37:21","2015-12-27 23:37:01","2015-12-27 23:36:41","2015-12-27 23:34:41","2015-12-27 23:36:21","2015-12-27 23:36:01","2015-12-27 23:35:41","2015-12-27 23:35:21"]).reverse(); // var bitcoinArr = (<?php echo json_encode(array_reverse($bitcoinPriceArr)); ?>); var bitcoinArr = ([426.61,426.61,426.65,426.65,426.65,426.75,426.63,426.7,426.8,426.76,426.89,426.85,427.02,427.05,426.98,426.99,426.86,426.64,426.65,426.89,426.91,427.18,427.19,427.21,427.26,427.27,427.29,427.26,427.31,427.17,427.21,427.23,427.35,427.34,427.34,427.43,427.47,427.47,427.35,427.5,427.51,427.47,427.48,427.42,427.54,427.54,427.54,427.53,427.57,427.63]); var length = Math.min(dateArr2.length, bitcoinArr.length); var rows = []; for (var i = 0; i < length; ++i) { rows.push([bitcoinArr[i], new Date(dateArr2[i])]); } data.addRows(rows); var options = { // backgroundColor: '#E4E4E4', curveType: 'function', chartArea: { left: 0, top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0, width: "100%", height: "100%" }, hAxis: { textPosition: 'none', baselineColor: 'none', gridlines: { color: 'none' }, }, vAxis: { textPosition: 'none', baselineColor: 'none', gridlines: { color: 'none' } }, colors: ['#2098d4', '#ffffff'], legend: 'none' }; var container = document.getElementById('chart_div'); var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(container); chart.draw(data, options); }
