PHP Facebook Application jSON issue

I am developing a Facebook Application in which I need to view the user_work_history data of a profile. Im doing this in PHP, and Facebook's Documentation is very cryptic and terrible.

In the documentation (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/), it says "An array of JSON objects containing employer, location, position, start_date and end_date fields". I assumed I would access this by doing something along the lines of <?php echo $me[work]; ?> however that only returns "array" in the output.

I've tried various things such as <?php echo $me[work][employer]; ?> which didn't work either.

Any help would be appreciated and recognized!

Try doing a var_dump($me['work']) or whatever to get a clearer look into what's inside that variable.

Additionally, you can get your access token by calling $fb_object->getAccessToken(); and use that in this URL: https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=<whatever>. Navigating to that in your browser will show you what data is coming back so you can get a better idea of the formatting.
