Question

I am developing an iFrame application in facebook. What is the syntax to get the locale of an user? I am using the PHP client library.

I had tried this piece of code:

<?php

   $user_details = $facebook->api_client->users_getInfo($user_id,  name,hometown_location );
   $locale = $user_details[0][ hometown_location ][ city ]; 
   echo "Location: ".$locale;
 ?>

But I get the following error msg:

 Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in C:xampplitehtdocsFacebookAppdeals.php on line 51

Some one help me with this.

Answer 1

Using the new PHP SDK:

$me = $fb->api( /me );
$locale = $me[ locale ];

Answer 2

One can find locale of a user either using graph api or FQL.

When using graph api, graph url will be

https://graph.facebook.com/[userid]

if its FQL the fql query will be:

select locale from user where uid = [userid]
