The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Facebook FBML markup not working with PHP

Asked by Njordur in PHP for Windows, Microsoft IIS Web Server, PHP Installation

Tags: Facebook, fbml

I have a problem with getting the fbml markup to work in the footprints example from Facebook. Yes this is my first Facebook app tryout :).

My setup is :
IIS 6.0 W2003
PHP 5.2.6
MySQL 5.0
Files : Footprints example downloaded from http://svn.facebook.com/svnroot/platform/clients/packages/facebook-platform.tar.gz

The Application works fine in almost all ways except for the <fb:name firstnameonly="true" uid="<?=$user?>" useyou="false"/> command not showing my name, hence fbml not working.

Howeve if I add these variables in line 15
$user_info = $facebook->api_client->users_getInfo($user, 'first_name');
$firstname = $user_info[0]['first_name'];
and switch
<?php echo $firstname?> with <fb:name firstnameonly="true" uid="<?=$user?>" useyou="false"/> in line 31 everything works fine.

$facebook->get_add_url() does not work either.

Is that the only solution to this with my setup or am I forgetting some library in the php setup?
Hints are very much appreciated.

Also just wondering if there should be a reference to fbml in php.iniStart Free Trial
