I know to get the "Bio" from my array, however this is pretty much out there onthe internet how to get the first level information from the Facebook API Array passed on;
$FB_About_Bio = $graph->getProperty('bio');
However when it comes to calling for "movies";
$FB_About_Movies = $graph->getProperty('movies');
This produces an array of itself I believe of which I do not know how to do a loop to list all the movie titles for example
How would I get all the movie names?

user9418 asked on Stackoverflow "How to parse a facebook graph api response" and bhushya answer has given somewhat of an insight to how it should be done. Below is my latest progress whereas previously I was getting no data whatsoever;
New Snippet;
$user_profile = (new FacebookRequest(
$sess, 'GET', '/me/movies'
))->execute()->getGraphObject();
$movies = $user_profile->getProperty('data');
$movies_data = $movies->asArray();//this will do all job for you..
foreach($movies_data as $row){
var_dump($row);
}
Result:

My full code now being the same with this implemented above my echoing to the page. I just need to learn now how to loop through and list only the name of each movie wrapping each one in a tag!
$FB_User_Interests_Movies = (new FacebookRequest(
$sess, 'GET', '/me/movies'
))->execute()->getGraphObject()->asArray();
foreach($FB_User_Interests_Movies['data'] as $key) {
echo $key->name.'<br />';
}
Many things are in the Facebook Graph API alike this so I expanded research to ask how to get user friends and whatnot. This lead me to a YouTube video titled "Facebook PHP SDK v4: Get List of Pages Liked by User | Part 10" which was enough to explain how to achieve my question!
