Facebook Graph API - how to get user country?

Question

I\'m developing a Facebook application using their Graph API. I have previously developed an app using the deprecated REST API.

I\'ve come across a problem in that

Answer 1

Use the php sdk:

require 'facebook.php';

$facebook = new Facebook(array( 'appId' => 'APPID', 'secret' => 'APPSECRET',
'cookie' => true, ));

Then ask for a signed request:

  $signed_request = $facebook->getSignedRequest();
  $country = $signed_request["user"]["country"];

Now $country has a string such as "us" for United States and "uk" for United Kingdom etc.
