Question

I am trying to create a simple fb app that retrieves the name of the user using fql_query.

Code :

require_once ‘facebook.php’;

$appapikey = ‘xxxx’;

$appsecret = ‘xxxx’;

$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret) ;

$user_id = $facebook->require_login();

$q = “SELECT name FROM user WHERE uid=’$user_id'”;

$name = $facebook->api_client->fql_query($q);

echo “Name : $name[0][name]”;

Output:
Name : Array[name]

Can you tell me what’s going wrong here?
Thanks!

Mistake is in this line:

echo "Name : $name[0][name]";

you are including $name[0][name] in quotes, this should be

echo "Name : {$name[0][name]}";

or

    echo "Name : ".$name[0][name];
