How do i use FQL with php api? and access token

Question

Grr... I cant seem to get fql working. One thing, I think the docs are old because i dont think api() likes just an array. Anyway:

$user_id = $facebook->get         


        

Answer 1

I use this:

function fql($q, $access_token) {
    // Run fql query
    $fql_query_url = 'https://graph.facebook.com'
    . '/fql?q='. urlencode($q)
    . '&access_token=' . urlencode($access_token);
    $fql_query_result = file_get_contents($fql_query_url);


    $length = strlen(PHP_INT_MAX);
    $fql_query_result = preg_replace('/"(user_id)":(\d{' . $length . ',})/', '"\1":"\2"', $fql_query_result);

    return json_decode($fql_query_result, true);
}
