Because getting the email address is only possible for the current user of your app, but not for their friends.
There is no such thing as a friends_email permission, as you can clearly see here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/#user_friends_perms

Facebook page_fan returning NULL, can't check if user likes page

I'm working on a Facebook app and I need to know if the user likes a specific page or not.
I tried using:
$isFan = $facebook->api(array(
"method" => "fql.query",
"query" => "SELECT uid FROM page_fan WHERE page_id = 'SOMEPAGEID'
AND uid = me()"
));
It returns NULL.
I even tried the javascript SDK:
FB.api('/me/likes/SOMEPAGEID', function(response) {
console.log(response.data);
});
It returns nothing.
I'm asking for the following permissions:
$scope = "email,user_likes";
Am I missing something?
Edit: SELECT * was bad copy-paste... it's SELECT uid
Your permissions look correct but I don't think that FQL queries actually support SELECT *, you have to manually list the fields
So try changing your FQL query to
select page_id from page_fan WHERE uid = me() AND page_id = PAGE_ID
Or it might be you haven't encoded your query properly. This runs for me in the graph explorer https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=fql%3Fq%3Dselect%2Bpage_id%2Bfrom%2Bpage_fan%2BWHERE%2Buid%2B%253D%2Bme%2528%2529
fql?q=select+page_id+from+page_fan+WHERE+uid+%3D+me%28%29
so try using
$isFan = $facebook->api('/fql?q='.urlencode('select page_id from page_fan WHERE uid = me() AND page_id = PAGE_ID'));

facebook fql query album table not working with graph api php

$fql = 'SELECT name,aid,photo_count,owner FROM album WHERE owner='.$userId;
$fql = 'SELECT aid,owner,name FROM album WHERE owner IN
(SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = 100002278102636 LIMIT 1 )';
I am using my codeigniter application to upload photo to an album which will be named current date.Creating album and all other uploads are working fine,but when i tried to select album name from album table using owner field its returning an empty array.But above query works fine with facebook test query widget
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?fql=SELECT%20aid%2Cowner%2Cname%20FROM%20album%20WHERE%20owner%3D100002278102636
i used API like this
$ret_obj1 = $this->facebook->api(array(
'method' => 'fql.query',
'query' => $fql,
));
what am i doing wrong...Thanks in advance
My guess is that this is a permission issue. To get these results, you need to be authenticated as a user and have the user_photos and friends_photos permission in your access token. If you don't, the FQL query will return a result and Facebook will filter that result out before it is given to your app, giving an empty data set.
The other possibility is your access token does not belong to user 100002278102636. If that is the case, then the friend subquery will fail.
Also, you should be using album_object_id now instead of aid. It appears that the aid field (and pid) will be removed in November.
Have you tried running your $fql query through urlencode? You'll notice that the one on facebooks graph explorer is encoded but yours is not
$ret_obj1 = $this->facebook->api(array(
'method' => 'fql.query',
'query' => urlencode($fql),
));
As an aside - this query:
$fql = 'SELECT aid,owner,name FROM album WHERE owner IN
(SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = 100002278102636 LIMIT 1 )';
You are selecting uid1 WHERE uid1 = a known value? Why not just do
$fql = 'SELECT aid,owner,name FROM album WHERE owner = 100002278102636 )';

fql query fails - suspected auth issue

In a page, if I make a test fql query it works:
$fql = 'SELECT name from user where uid = ' . $user_id;
$ret_obj = $facebook->api(array(
'method' => 'fql.query',
'query' => $fql,
));
echo '<pre>Name: ' . $ret_obj[0]['name'] . '</pre>';
However if I try to run this query, it fails:
$fql2 = 'SELECT uid, name, pic_square FROM user WHERE uid in (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) AND sex =male';
$ret_obj2 = $facebook->api(array(
'method' => 'fql.query',
'query' => $fql2,
));
echo '<pre>Name: ' . $ret_obj2[0]['name'] . '</pre>';
I suspect it is an auth problem, because the same fql query works in the graph api test tool!
If you want to checkout the full php code, it's the second example on this page:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/php/facebook-api/
You need just basic permissions for this query, so this is not the issue. Try adding double quotes around "male":
$fql2 = 'SELECT uid, name, pic_square FROM user WHERE uid in (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) AND sex="male"';
Thanks for the support guys, the query wasn't working for 2 reasons:
1) I forgot the ; after the end of statement
2) In my code I used
`SELECT uid, name, pic_square, FROM`
instead of
`SELECT uid, name, pic_square FROM`

why in results i am getting all friends instead of only 10friends

i am using this query
$FQLQuery = 'SELECT uid, sex, pic_square FROM user WHERE uid in ('.implode(", ", $man).')';
to get uid, pic_squre, and sex of 10friends which are selected by user
and their user id is stored in $man[ ] an array
but when i see the results it is selecting all the friends of a user not the friends
only selected by a user
whats wrong?
This is what i am getting for all friends
[12] => Array
(
[uid] => 100003033556875
[sex] => female
[pic_square] => http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/274747_1000
03033556875_306033850_q.jpg
)
You should add LIMIT clause
$FQLQuery = 'SELECT uid, sex, pic_square FROM user WHERE uid in ('.implode(", ", $man).') LIMIT 10';

fql.get method return empty Array in Facebook Application with facebook-php-sdk-v2.1.2-4

Recently I am trying to develop a facebook application that shows the STATUSES of loged in facebook user.
I am succeeded to retrieve information from user table using FQL. But right now I am using this following code to get data from status table.
****BEGIN :: CODE SECTION***********
$sql = "SELECT message,time FROM status WHERE uid in (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = ".$myLoginId.")";
$param = array(
// 'method' => 'fql.query',
'method' => 'status.get',
'query' => $sql,
'callback' => ''
);
$fqlResult = $facebook->api($param);
print_r($fqlResult);
***END:: CODE SECTION********
But everytimes it returns Empty Array.
Right Now I am using Library of facebook-php-sdk-v2.1.2-4-g2343fca.tar which I collect from github.com.
can anybody please give me a solution.
Thank in Advance.
You code is working just fine, just a small note, you can use me() to get the current user id:
$fql = "SELECT uid,message,time FROM status WHERE uid in (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me())";
$fqlResult = $this->facebook->api(array(
'method' => 'fql.query',
'query' => $fql
));
AND once again, the most important part is acquiring the correct permissions, which are user_status (if you want to get your statuses) AND friends_status (to get your friends' statuses).
