Please place your php code into another file called api.php and use $.ajax to get these data with JSON format. To convert data into JSON format data you should use json_encode() php function.

I have set sample example you can see here.

Please refer below code example:

  1. api.php

    $arrLabels = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July");
$arrDatasets = array('label' => "My First dataset",'fillColor' => "rgba(220,220,220,0.2)", 'strokeColor' => "rgba(220,220,220,1)", 'pointColor' => "rgba(220,220,220,1)", 'pointStrokeColor' => "#fff", 'pointHighlightFill' => "#fff", 'pointHighlightStroke' => "rgba(220,220,220,1)", 'data' => array('28', '48', '40', '19', '86', '27', '90'));

$arrReturn = array(array('labels' => $arrLabels, 'datasets' => $arrDatasets));

print (json_encode($arrReturn));

  2. example.html

    $.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'api.php',
success: function (data) {
lineChartData = data;//alert(JSON.stringify(data));
var myLine = new Chart(document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d")).Line(lineChartData);

var ctx = document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d");
window.myLine = new Chart(ctx).Line(lineChartData, {responsive: true});
} 
});

Please note that you should pass value of randomScalingFactor() at api.php.

Please check and let me know if you require any further help.

This is based on the answer above with a couple of changes.

php:

include 'db.php';
$query = "SELECT month, COUNT(*) count FROM customer WHERE month='march' GROUP BY month";

if ($stmt = $conn->prepare($query)) {
    $stmt->execute();
    $stmt->bind_result($month, $count);            

    $labels = array();
    $data = array();

    while ($stmt->fetch()) {
        $labels[] = $month;
        $data[] = $count;
    }
        $stmt->close();
}

$datasets = array('label'=>"timer",'data'=> $data);
$data = array('labels'=>$labels, 'datasets'=> array($datasets));

echo json_encode($data);

I had to use JSON.pare() on the passed-in array.

Javascript:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'api.php ',
    datatype: 'json',
    success: function (result) {
        var ctx = document.getElementById("chart").getContext("2d");
        var mychart = new Chart(ctx,
        {
            type: 'bar',
            data: JSON.parse(result),
            options: {
                scales: {
                    yAxes: [{
                        ticks: {
                            beginAtZero: true
                        }
                    }]
                }
            }
        })
    }
})

html:

<canvas id="chart" width="200" height="200"></canvas>

First get your data into suitable data structures using PHP

$months = array("january", "february", "march", "april", "may", "june", "july", "august", "september", "october", "november", "december");
$monthvalues = array();
foreach ($months as $month) {
    $monthvalues[$month] = 0;
}

$result = mysql_query("SELECT month, count(*) FROM customer group by month") or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
    $monthvalues[$row[0]] = (int)$row[1];
}

Below that, just plug in those data structures into your Javascript

var randomScalingFactor = function(){ return Math.round(Math.random()*100)};
var lineChartData = {
    labels : <?=json_encode($months);?>,
    datasets : [
        {
            label: "My First dataset",
            fillColor : "rgba(220,220,220,0.2)",
            strokeColor : "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
            pointColor : "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
            pointStrokeColor : "#fff",
            pointHighlightFill : "#fff",
            pointHighlightStroke : "rgba(220,220,220,1)",
            data : <?=json_encode(array_values($monthvalues));?>
        }
    ]
}

assuming the the window.onload and the HTML for the canvas element are in their proper places.
