Q:

Cannot get Highcharts to show in 3D with data from mysql database

What do I need to do to make this chart work with 3D options?  I have everything connected properly and it shows the charts in 2D just fine. 
When I add the options3d like in the example below it throws an error that the identifier is depreciated. 
  options3d: {
            enabled: true,
            alpha: 15,
            beta: 15,
            depth: 50,
            viewDistance: 25
        }

Here is what I have tried with no luck, I commented out the 3D portion because that was the only way it worked with my data query:
  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var options = {
            chart: {
                renderTo: 'container',
                type: 'column',
                marginRight: 75,
                marginBottom: 25
                 //options3d: {
                   // enabled: true,
                    //alpha: 15,
                    //beta: 15,
                   // depth: 50,
                   // viewDistance: 25
                // }
            },
            title: {
                text: 'Contributions to Filers by Year',
                x: -20 //center
            },
            subtitle: {
                text: '',
                x: -20
            },
            xAxis: {
                categories: []
            },
            yAxis: {
                title: {
                    text: 'Money Contributed to Filers'
                },
                plotLines: [{
                    value: 0,
                    width: 1,
                    color: '#808080'
                }]
            },
            tooltip: {
                formatter: function() {
                        return '<b>'+ this.series.name +'</b><br/>'+
                        this.x +': '+ this.y;
                }
            },
            legend: {
                layout: 'horizontal',
                align: 'left',
                verticalAlign: 'top',
                x: -10,
                y: 100,
                borderWidth: 0
            },
             plotOptions: {
                column: {
                    stacking: 'normal',
                    dataLabels: {
                        enabled: true,
                        color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white'
                    }
                }
            },
            series: []
        }

        $.getJSON("/charts/data/filers-test.php", function(json) {
            options.xAxis.categories = json[0]['data'];
            options.series[0] = json[1];

            chart = new Highcharts. Chart(options);
        });
    });
    </script>

A:

Since no one was able to help me with this, I figured it out on my own with trial and error.  Here is the script I used to get the final working result from the server.  This produces a nice 3D highchart that can show the data properly.  I may need to edit it a few more times before it is actually used...
  $(document).ready(function() {
                        var options = {
                            // basic chart options
                            chart: {
                                height: 350,
                                renderTo: 'container',
                                type: 'column',
                                marginRight: 130,
                                lang: {
                                    thousandsSep: ','
                                },
                                marginBottom: 25,
                                // 3D initialization, comment out for non-3D columns
