How to display username on Facebook fan page

I've googled everywhere for this and I can't figure this out, so any help is much appreciated.

I have an iframe Facebook fan page and want the username to show up with some text. This is the code I have:

<?
require 'src/facebook.php';

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => '...',
  'secret' => '...',
  'cookie' => true
));

// Get User ID
$user = $facebook->getUser();

if ($user) {
  try {
    // Proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated.
    $user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
  } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
    error_log($e);
    $user = null;
  }
}
?>

<? echo $user['name']; ?>

It only echoes "0"

I've been trying to do this with the php sdk, but if theres a way to do it with javascript that's fine too.

This works for me 

$user= $facebook->getUser();  
$fbme  =   $facebook->api('/me');  
echo "Welcome".$fbme['name']."";

You can also use 

$uid = $facebook->getUser();   
$fbme= $facebook->api('/'.$uid);

where uid will be id for the app user.

You can also do something like:

if ($user) {
  try {
    // Proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated.
    $user = $facebook->api('/me');
  } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
    error_log($e);
    $user = null;
  }
}

And then you'll have:

$user['name'];

$user in your sample code is a string containing user id from Facebook.

You probably wanted to print $user_profile['name']
