How do I read my UID on Facebook using their API in PHP?
By this I mean the UID (integer) of the user that is currently using an applicaiton they we are developing. Our application needs to know this UID.
Thanks,
Paul.

Did you locate the information in the
FB API docs
[developers.facebook.com]?

No. The "documentation" is terrible. It looks like something a script-kiddie wrote.
We ended up dropping Facebook integration from the project.

i dont think you can read any uid in your webpage, not until a user interacts with something (click), and then, you can get only his id.
what exactly are you trying to do?
