View the page source on the script that is dumping that array out. You'll see the structure much more clearly, and it will become obvious how to access the name keys — Michael Berkowski

Hi Michael, thanks for your reply... so i need to do something like var_dump($friendlikes) ? — Ferat Ducellari

@FeratDucellari Your image appears to be var_dump() output already. I'm saying just view the page source in your browser rather than viewing the HTML output in your browser, and you'll see all the formatting. — Michael Berkowski

As far as I can see:

$fbid = 500591729;
$name = $array[$fbid] ['data'] [0] ['name'];

Or for all names:

foreach ($array as $fbid=>$value) {
    echo $value['data'][0]['name'];
}

Yes..Thanks this is what i need... but how can i output all the names? any loop?

Updated the answer, though you could probably have found that out yourself using my first answer, right?

Thanks Jeroen, i appreciate your answer!
