Great article! Just what I have been looking for, for ages! Sadly, it isin’t updated to 2013, and most of it doesn’t work.

Is there anything else similar to this, or would it be possible for you, Joey, to update it to 2013? Would be great!

Again, good job! Please let me know, whether anybody knows a similar updated article.

Hello Joey

I tried to create the small application for extracting the data from facebook and I receive the following error in the error.log file:

[Wed Nov 07 17:21:46 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught CurlException: 1: Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl\n thrown in /srv/www/htdocs/base_facebook.php on line 967

Any idea?

Thanks

Paulo

Hey Vac, where do you see friends_likes? I assume you’d want to try something like: graph.facebook.com/[friend name or id]/likes.

ex:
https://graph.facebook.com/cocacola/likes

There seems to be a problem with config.php file.Rather than using
if(is_null($facebook->getUser()))…
to check if user is present I use following code for checking if user already exists

try{
$me = $facebook->api(‘/me’);
$error=’no’;
}
catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
$error=’yes’;
$perms=array(‘req_perms’ => ‘user_status,publish_stream,user_photos,email,status_update,friends_status,export_stream’);
echo”getLoginUrl($perms,$cancel,$next,$display).”‘>”;
exit;
}
if($error!=’yes’){//already logged in use normally
}

wow, this is a great page and I have to say, most of the great stuff is in the comments

you should formalise some of the information and rewrite a new article based on all the new info you accumulated there, cause it’s pure gold!

The user id is not enough to authenticate as it’s public information. In order for your application to post a status to a user, the user must be authenticated through your application. Now, you can use the offline permissions option so they only authenticate once and you can store the authenticated key in the db and use that to post status updates anytime after.
