Considering that you are using the PHP SDK Classes provided by Facebook here

You can do something like this

$fb = new Facebook(array(
     'appId' => 'YOUR_APP_ID',
     'secret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET'
));


$userData = $fb->api('/me','GET');
$userData = serialize($userData);

//now userdata is a string, so, insert into the database.

Remembering, in your app configurantion, you must specify the kind of information you want from user.
