php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed error while trying to create a facebook app

Question

Hi, I am trying to create a small facebook application. In my php file, I have written code to just display my name and to get my friend's list. This is my code:

 <?php

   echo "<p>Hello, <fb:name uid=\"$user_id\" useyou=\"false\"></fb:name>!</p>";
   echo "<p>Friends:";
   $friends = $facebook->api_client->friends_get();
   $friends = array_slice($friends, 0, 25);
   foreach ($friends as $friend) {
      echo "<br>$friend";
   }
    echo "</p>";
 ?>

This is the output I get:

Hello, Angeline Aarthi!

Please someone help me resolve my errors.

You have to set allow_url_fopen flag to 1 in your php.ini file
