I am trying to use php to parse a JSON feed of posts using Facebook Graph API<\/p>\n

I found the following solution for comments…<\/p>\n

\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This is the url id I’m working with: https:\/\/graph.facebook.com\/210849652406\/feed\/?access_token={VALID_USER_TOKEN}<\/p>\n
I just don’t know how to call the items for this feed. I’m trying to make the comments parse with this post\/feed but I get essentially nothing. I want the basic items like name of the post, caption, etc. I think if I just could get the name of the post I could figure it all out!<\/p>\n

  1. \n
    You are looping incorrectly<\/p>\n
    try this<\/p>\n
    foreach($fb_response->data as $item){\necho 'Message: ' . $item->message . '
    ';\/\/there is no name returned on a comment\necho 'From ID: ' . $item->from->id . '
    ';\n echo 'From Name: ' . $item->from->name . '
    ';\n echo 'Message: ' . $item->message . '
    ';\n echo 'Timestamp: ' . $item->created_time . '

    ';\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Do you have warnings\/errors displayed? Ensure that you have extension=php_openssl.dll<\/code> (or .so<\/code>) enabled in your php.ini or you will get no results. This is because you are fetching from a secure site.<\/p>\n
    Also $item->name<\/code> is an undefined property in the JSON. Perhaps you mean $item->id<\/code>. Everything else looks ok.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
