Answer 1

1. Connect to FB using the PHP SDK. (available here)

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require_once 'library/facebook/src/facebook.php';

1. Check if the user has logged in to FB

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId'  => 'YOUR API ID',    
'secret' => 'YOUR APP SECRET',   
'cookie' => true, // enable optional cookie support
));

1. FQL

   try {
         $me = $facebook->api('/me');
   
         $currentPage=1;
         $currentPost=1;
         $currentDate="";
   
         $list="";
         $arrDate=array();
   
         $fql    =   "YOUR FQL STATEMENT HERE";
         $param  =   array(
            'method'    => 'fql.query',
            'query'     => $fql,
            'callback'  => ''
         );
         $fqlResult   =   $facebook->api($param);//Here you have your FQL result set
   
         foreach($fqlResult as $row){
         //Do something to the result
   
         }
   
       } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
         error_log($e);
       }
