Question

I am using facebook graph api, to retrieve logged in user’s info.

$facebookdata = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=' . $fb_accesstoken . '&fields=name,picture'),true);

Now When I var_dump I get null. I did try to goto url https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&fields=id,name,picture. It shows the name and photourl.

I appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Check if allow_url_fopen is enabled in your php.ini. Otherwise adapt, because file_get_contents will not be able to read from http URLs then.

Second, raise your error_reporting level. It should have told you so.

If you get no error message, then access with the PHP user_agent might be blocked. There is another php.ini setting for that. Also alternatively, just try curl.
