gg39 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hello all! I'm new to PHP and MySQL so I'm pretty much clueless as to how to write code. I saw the following script from http://thinkdiff.net/facebook/users-demographic-data-from-facebook/ so I decided to play around with it but I just can't get it to work. I created the table shown in that page but after that, I'm pretty much stuck. So two questions: What do I write to point to my database? And once I do that, what do I write to insert that information into the database? I have no idea what the '$this' part is supposed to do. Thanks for any input! <?php include_once "fbmain.php"; $config['baseurl'] = "http://thinkdiff.net/demo/newfbconnect1/demographicdata/index.php"; //if user is logged in and session is valid. if ($fbme){ //collect some data using legacy api $param = array( 'method' => 'users.getinfo', 'uids' => $fbme['id'], 'fields' => 'birthday_date, interests, locale, political, relationship_status, affiliations', 'callback' => '' ); try{ $info = $facebook->api($param); } catch(Exception $o){ error_log("Legacy Api Calling Error!"); } //using graph api //array data $workInfo = getWorkInfoAsString($fbme); $education = getEducationAsString($fbme); $moviesArr = $facebook->api("/me/movies"); $musicArr = $facebook->api("/me/music"); $televisionArr = $facebook->api("/me/television"); //format some api data $movies = getArrayDataAsString($moviesArr['data']); $music = getArrayDataAsString($musicArr['data']); $television = getArrayDataAsString($televisionArr['data']); //data from legacy api $networks = ''; if (!empty($info[0]['affiliations'])){ $flag = true; foreach ($info[0]['affiliations'] as $item){ if (!$flag) $networks.= ' # '; $networks .= $item['name']; $flag = false; } } $now = date("Y-m-d G:i:s"); $insData = array( 'uid' => $fbme['id'], 'first_name' => $fbme['first_name'], 'last_name' => $fbme['last_name'], 'email' => isset($fbme['email']) ? $fbme['email'] : '', 'link' => $fbme['link'], 'affiliations' => $networks, 'birthday' => $info[0]['birthday_date'], 'current_location' => isset($fbme['location']['name']) ? $fbme['location']['name'] : '', 'education_history' => $education, 'work' => $workInfo, 'hometown_location' => isset($fbme['hometown']['name']) ? $fbme['hometown']['name'] : '', 'interests' => $info[0]['interests'], 'locale' => $info[0]['locale'], 'movies' => $movies, 'music' => $music, 'political' => $info[0]['political'], 'relationship_status' => $info[0]['relationship_status'], 'sex' => isset($fbme['gender']) ? $fbme['gender'] : '', 'tv' => $television, 'status' => '0', 'created' => $now, 'updated' => $now, ); //$this->db->insert('demographic', $insData); } function getWorkInfoAsString($fbme, $delim = '#', $partDelim = ' | '){ $info = ""; $flag = false; if (empty($fbme['work'])) return ''; foreach($fbme['work'] as $item){ if ($flag) $info .= $partDelim; $flag = true; $info .= (isset($item['employer']['name']) ? $item['employer']['name'] : '' ). $delim .
