I would like to know how is it possible to retrieve a string from an external page.
For example: In a PHP website, the user sends a facebook id, ex: 1157251270
And the website returns the name from http://graph.facebook.com/1157251270.
I hope I made it clear.
Thank you
Either you use :
$res_json = file_gets_contents("http://graph.facebook.com/1157251270")
$res = json_decode($res_json)
Or, if you prefer curl (here with https and access token) :
$ch4 = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch4, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch4, CURLOPT_URL, "https://graph.facebook.com/1157251270?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN");
curl_setopt($ch4, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
if(!$result = curl_exec($ch4))
{
echo curl_error($ch4);
} else {
$res = json_decode($res_json)
}
curl_close($ch4);
