Question

I have this code:

//Create Query
$params = array(
    'method' => 'fql.query',
    'access_token' => '$user->accessToken',
    'query' => "SELECT uid, name FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = XXXXXXXX)",
);

//Run Query
$result = $facebook->api($params);

var_dump($result);

When i run the script containing above code, I don’t get any result. Rather, i get the error Maximum execution time exceeded.
I have confirmed that the query is ok by checking it in Graph API Explorer. Moreover, I have also confirmed (by debugging) that the $user->accessToken contains correct access token with all the permissions given by user.

I have also tried using urlencode with my query string as well… without any success.

What am i doing wrong here?

Answer 1

You’re single-quoting your access token reference.

'access_token' => '$user->accessToken',
                 ^^^                ^^^

That sets the value to, literally $user->accessToken. Change the right-side quotes to double quotes (or better yet, remove them altogether).
