By default friends/ids returns all friends. If you wish to use cursors to
chunk ids into blocks of 5000 you will initially call:
$content = $connection->get('friends/ids', array('screen_name'
=> 'bobaiello', 'cursor' => -1));
Then to get the next block:
$next_content = $connection->get('friends/ids', array('screen_name'
=> 'bobaiello', 'cursor' => $content['next_cursor']));
If you are on 32bit machine you will probably have to use next_cursor_str
instead.

It is a simple array(1, 2, 3, 4) unless using cursors array('ids' =>
array(1, 2, 3, 4,), 'next_cursor' => 123456,...)
any help or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly
