FDO - Facebook Data Object

FDO - Facebook Data Object

The _Facebook Data Object_ (FDO) is a simple interface for querying data from Facebook Graph API using FQL (Facebook Query Language). It uses CURL for querying., _(*1)

FDO interface is very similar to PDO, since PDO has a very understandable methods and majority of PHP developers are very familiar with them., _(*2)

Examples

Fetch a single user object, _(*3)

use fdo\FDO;
$fdo = new FDO();

$fql = "SELECT uid, name, sex FROM user WHERE uid = :uid";
$stmt = $fdo->prepare($fql);
$stmt->bindValue(":uid", 4, FDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetch(FDO::FETCH_OBJ);
var_dump($result);

Fetch single column, fetch collection, _(*4)

use fdo\FDO;
$fdo = new FDO($access_token); // Provide an active access_token

// Count friends
$fql = "SELECT friend_count FROM user WHERE uid = me()";
echo "Count friends: ". $fdo->query($fql)->fetchColumn();

// List me and all of my friends
$fql = "SELECT uid, name FROM user WHERE uid = :me OR uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = :me) ORDER BY name";
$stmt = $fdo->prepare($fql);
$stmt->bindValue(":me", "me()", FDO::PARAM_FUNC);
$stmt->execute();
echo "Friends:". PHP_EOL;
echo str_pad("num", 4, " ", STR_PAD_LEFT) . " ". str_pad("uid", 22) . "name" . PHP_EOL;
$i = 0;
while($friend = $stmt->fetch(FDO::FETCH_OBJ)) {
    echo str_pad(++$i, 4, " ", STR_PAD_LEFT) . " " . str_pad($friend->uid, 22) . $friend->name . PHP_EOL;
}

Important notice: The library is still in a heavy development and some planed functionality is not implement yet. Please contribute if you think that the library is useful., _(*5)
