I tried Jpgraph a while back and it was alright. I believe it's still free,
and is pure PHP, not a binary module.

I currently use ChartDirector at work, which I like quite a lot - produces
good-looking charts (nicely anti-aliased etc.) and is pretty quick (probably
mostly due to it being a compiled module). It has a fairly liberal
unlimited-length free trial license but puts a small yellow banner at the
bottom of the image, or you buy a license to get rid of that.
