Jessica Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Sites like that will have an API. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277702-social-networking-sites-data-database-storage/#findComment-1428587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Indeed. Those API's also have documentation. The reason your question hasn't had a look in is because you have obviously made little effort to research the topic yourself. You need to be specific about where it is exactly you are stuck.

Jessica Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The same way you would save any other data to a database. What database engine do you want to use?

trq Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Where are you getting the term "cookie data" from? It doesn't really make any sense in the context of this topic. Anyway, do you know how to connect to and query a database? All you need do is execute an INSERT statement that stores the data you have. What format is your data in?

icode919 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 data will be in format like: https://graph.facebook.com/userid "id": "100000028881959", "name": "username", "first_name": "name", "last_name": "last", "link": "https://www.facebook.com/uid", "username": "uid", "gender": "male", "locale": "en_US" then similar for Twitter / Google+ that is the cookie data i am talking about.. never had experienced with storing cookie data to database..

trq Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The data you have has nothing at all to do with cookies. Anyway, I would suggest making a table that replicates this structure. From there it would be simple to write an INSERT query to store your data.

icode919 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yes, ok ! so you mean in the page we add that script which fetch these details we simply call INSERT query and save that data to db ?? is that how it will work ?
