[FIXED] facebook graph api getGraphObject()->asArray() returns null

Issue

so I have this:

$pages = (new FacebookRequest($session, 'GET', '/search?q=Computers/Technology&fields=likes'))->execute()->getGraphObject()->asArray();

I just want to get the likes of those pages, so I did $pages["likes"] also tried $pages->likes and I get null. But when i do var_dump($pages) it shows all the data. So why can't I get just the likes?

Solution

Depending on what var_dump($pages) returns, you may need to do something like $pages[''][''] to get to the likes. I'm not sure since you didn't include that.

If the value isn't undefined and you can actually see the data using var_dump, you shouldn't have any problem getting to the specific fields once you understand the structure. Try

print_r($pages)

as well to see your info. Also, as long as there's no sensitive data, post the output or a sample of the output to help us with out answers.

Cheers!
