Hi,

I have a website that has a facebook login. Its been running for quite a while now and has had quite a few users sign up. In the database I have recorded their names and emails. In hindsight I should have also recorded their age & location.

So for all you programmers out there that are familiar with facebook api is it possible to auto update my database with the needed information without the need for the user to revisit the website?

My database seems to have also saved the facebood id number and access token.

    You should be able to do this with open graph requests on data that you have permission to use with that token; name, avatar etc.. a great example is playstation, that does this when you connect with facebook.
