I have a really strange problem I’ve been trying to work around for a while now, but it’s to the point where I can’t anymore.
I have a simple php script. It does some api calls and pulls some data down from facebook and then displays it. For some reason on this page ANY Javascript/jquery that I put in the script just simply does not work. I insert an iframe with the javascript in the source and it works, but if the javascript is in this page it simply doesn’t register. No response at all..the javascript plugin won’t show up, or the function will not fire on-click.
Also MYSQL calls aren’t working either. I simply get nothing back. Has this ever happened to any of you before? Any possible causes?
I don’t think I have any syntax errors..I’ll keep checking though. Any help is much appreciated!!
Here is the first part of my code up until the body, I can’t show the rest unfortunately:
<?php
require 'includes/connection.php';
require 'src/facebook.php';
// Create our Application instance (replace this with your appId and secret).
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => '~myid~',
'secret' => '~mysecret~',
));
// Get User ID
$user = $facebook->getUser();
// If we have a $user id here, it means we know the user is logged into
// Facebook, but we don't know if the access token is valid. An access
// token is invalid if the user logged out of Facebook.
if ($user) {
try {
// Proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated.
$user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
$user_name = $user_profile[first_name];
/*
echo $user;
echo "<br/><br/>";
echo $access_token;
*/
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
$user = null;
}
}/*elseif($_GET[user]){
$user = $_GET[user];
if ($user) {
try {
// Proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated.
$user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
$user_name = $user_profile[first_name];
/*
echo $user;
echo "<br/><br/>";
echo $access_token;
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
$user = null;
}
}
}*/
// Login or logout url will be needed depending on current user state.
$logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl();
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array('scope'=>'offline_access'));
//Get youtube video ID from URL
// & Linkify youtube URLs which are not already links.

None of the javascript in this code is working right now. Also I’ve replaced my app data for facebook and soundcloud in the above code. Sorry it’s a little messy. Wish I could post it all but it’s not up to me. Thanks for your help in advance!
Here is my SQL Statement as requested – actually just a test one I set up w/ the same format:
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE fb_user_id = '$user'";
$likes = mysql_query($query);
$num = mysql_num_rows($likes);
echo $num;
while ($like_list = mysql_fetch_array($likes, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
$like = $like_list['fb_from_id'];
echo $like;
}
So the problem with the SQL Statement not working was that the table was named with 4 characters, as in like. When I changed it to 5, as in likes, it worked. I had no idea there was a limit on the length of a table name..someone probably would have caught that if I had posted my code. Thanks anyway for all of the help!!
