Take the likes from users of my app and file them into csv

Question

I need to be able to consolidate all the likes from users that use my Facebook app into an Excel or .csv file. I can have the user authenticate within my Facebook app, but is there a way to see the likes for all users of an app using Open Graph or some other Facebook tool? I'm certain that someone else must have had this problem, and I'm hoping that one of you can help me out!

I've been trying to run FQL queries to bring up likes, but don't have any experience with PHP so it has been miserable so far. Any ideas?

• There's no way to retrieve a list of users of your app - you'll need to manually build that as users authorise the app see this question for more information
• Assuming you have permission to access a user's likes connection - access /USER_ID/likes and parse the response, saving it to a file in accordance with whatever language you're using's syntax (google is your friend here)
• Note that your use of the data is subject to Facebook's policies and user's consent in accordance with your privacy policy and sharing it with third parties may be illegal (i am not a lawyer, this is not official advice, etc etc)
