Question

I am using the following which is working perfectly to display friends’ names

$access_token = "___access-token___";
$friendsList = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=".$access_token),true) ;
$data = $friendsList['data'] ;

foreach ($data as $nr => $friends)
{
 echo $friends['name'].'<br /><br />';  // line AAA     
}

But if try change line AAA to e.g. $friends[‘birthday’] or $friends[‘picture’] I get nothing?? Any ideas?

BTW, RE birthday, I have friends_birthday in scope to allow this info

Answer 1

Define wanted fields directly in the request:

https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends/?fields=birthday,picture

If you are allowed to see the friend’s birthday – it will be in the result row
