Retrieve facebook fan page in PHP

[Macario]

Currently, there is no tool or application to extract the names of fans of a "page" in facebook. So I decide to make my version of php

I use file_get_contents () with context, to choose the options header.

I want to convince Facebook that I want to load the lightbox listing the 100 by 100 fans as if I was on a standard web browser. The goal is to retrieve the html/javascript from the list to extract the names of fans.

I analyzed wireshark headers and cookies sent by my browser when he made the motion, so classic.

I then analyzed the response of facebook. The headers received are correct (200 OK). But I do not get the html as expected, but a boiled characters long not really readable.

Yen has a full page, but I'm short.

It looks like a picture, but I can not open it.

The code for my php page:

The user copy/paste the headers it has captured with wireshark.

<?php
$headers = strstr($_POST['post_header'],'Host:');
$content = strstr($_POST['post_body'],'edge_type');
parse_str($content, $result);
$data= array();
foreach($result as $key=>$value)
{
    $data[$key] = $value;
}
$content = http_build_query( $data);
$options = array( 'http' => array( 'user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0',
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => $content,
'header' => $headers ) );
$context = stream_context_create( $options );
echo nl2br($headers);echo '
';
echo nl2br($content);
echo '
';
$return = file_get_contents( 'http://www.facebook.com/ajax/social_graph/fetch.php', false, $context );
echo nl2br($return);
?>

Can you help me in retrieving facebook fan page with PHP?

[!const]

it is true that not even one little top will retrieve this info under the pretext that page_id page_fan in the table that is not indexed

Some stories:

This problem is resolved. I selected the large headers sent and only those. Now Facebook sends me well with the Javascript code names within.

The problem now is complex. Stay well.

I parse the headers with the function http_parse_headers () and I recovered in a table. Http_parse_headers function () is available in PECL extension and bookstore called php_http.dll. It is basic PHP.

Once the code is retrieved, I must find the names contained. For that, I'm an explode () on the string, I get an array with the names followed by the rest of the code.

....e}},"547426212":{"id":547426212,"title":"Jean Smith","href":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jeansmith.... 
 
devient 
 
Jean Smith","href":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jeansmith....

It must now withdraw that is after the name.

For this I use the function strstr () with a third parameter to TRUE to get the string before the landmark.
All this in order to isolate

The problem is that this improvement of the function strstr () (3rd parameter) is that since PHP 5.3, while the library php_http.dll does not (yet?) For PHP 5.3

Do you know a solution?
Equivalent to strstr () which runs on PHP 5.2.x? equivalent to http_parse_headers () which runs on PHP 5.3.x?

I thought the first regex. But the performance is very long, and then I can not find a function that returns me a B chain sandwiched between two channels A and C.

Another solution is to manufacture its own function strstr () reversed, also reviews site PHP abound. If there are no other solutions, I'll do it ...

[!const]

But why are you doing an explode, it's simply a json. So you should do json_decode

$json = str_replace('for (;;);', '', $response);
$users = json_decode($json)->payload->user_info;
print_r($users);

It's simpler, right? Also directly in your object, simply put a 'true' in the 2nd parameter to be tabulated assoc

[sairenji]

can anyone please explain where?

thanks
