Question

FQL statement has executed and array object has been passed to $fqlResult successfully.

However, I’m unable to write name into my <span> through innerHTML. Neither exceptions nor errors have occurred. Other columns from the table such as latitude, longitude, page_id, checkin_count are able to write into respective <span> correctly. Only name is giving me problem.

May I know what is preventing me from writing name into my <span>?

FQL Place Documentation

FQL Statement

SELECT page_id,name,latitude,longitude,checkin_count 
FROM place 
WHERE distance(latitude, longitude,"1.2894680406278", "103.86311775635") < 200 
ORDER BY checkin_count DESC 

Results from print_r($fqlResult) appears to be consistent with results from Graph API Explorer.

HTML

<b>Page Name: </b> <span id="fName"></span>
<b>Latitude: </b> <span id="fLatitude"></span>
<b>Longitude: </b> <span id="fLongitude"></span>

Observation

JavaScript Setup 1 (Blockage)

document.getElementById('fName').innerHTML = <?=$fqlResult[0]['name']?>;
document.getElementById('fLatitude').innerHTML = <?=$fqlResult[0]['latitude']?>;
document.getElementById('fLongitude').innerHTML = <?=$fqlResult[0]['longitude']?>;

//Output
No. of Facebook Checkins: 
Latitude: 
Longitude:

JavaScript Setup 2 (No blockage – Okay)

document.getElementById('fLatitude').innerHTML = <?=$fqlResult[0]['latitude']?>;
document.getElementById('fLongitude').innerHTML = <?=$fqlResult[0]['longitude']?>;

//Output
No. of Facebook Checkins: 
Latitude: 1.2894680406278
Longitude: 103.86311775635 

Answer 1

Latitude and logitude are numbers, so no problem there.

But name is a string (a.k.a. text literal), and what did you forget to put around the value in your JavaScript code …? Exactly, string delimiters.
