Getting list of names from id array for facebook?

Question

I am looking to grab the names of facebook users from an array of about 100 ids and store in php variables. Is there a way to do it without making api calls or using curl for each id in a loop?

Answer 1

You can do this:

You can run an FQL query on the 'user' table to get their name.

Here are a few links for more information:

Yes:
