Log in with Facebook using the Facebook SDK for PHP

I have problems accessing my Facebook site.

I created a login using the Facebook SDK following the training course at developers.facebook.com, but it does not work for me.

I wrote a simple test page to find out what went wrong. This is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head></head> <body> <pre> <?php $app_id = '446458238729594'; $app_secret = '********'; $redirect_uri = 'http://mysite.localhost/'; try { echo( 'Including "facebook.php"...' ); require './src/facebook.php'; echo( "done.\n\n" ); echo( 'Starting session...' ); $result = session_start(); if( $result ) { echo( "done.\n\n" ); echo( "\n=====>>>>> Session array:\n" . var_export( $_SESSION, true ) . "\n\n" ); } else { echo( "fail.\n\n" ); echo( "\n=====>>>>> Session array:\n" . var_export( $_SESSION, true ) . "\n\n" ); } echo( "Trying to get counter from the session...\n"); if( isset( $_SESSION['counter'] ) ) { echo( 'Value: ' . $_SESSION['counter'] . "\n" ); echo( "Increasing to one...\n"); $_SESSION['counter']++; echo( "done.\n" ); echo( 'Value: ' . $_SESSION['counter'] . "\n\n" ); } else { echo( "fail.\n" ); echo( "Trying to add a counter and set it value to 0...\n"); $_SESSION['counter'] = 0; echo( 'Value: ' . $_SESSION['counter'] . "\n" ); echo( "done.\n\n" ); } echo( 'Creating an instance of Facebook class...' ); $facebook = new Facebook( array( 'appId' => $app_id, 'secret' => $app_secret, ) ); echo( "done.\n\n" ); echo( "The instance of Facebook class:\n" . str_replace( $app_secret, '>>>APP_SECRET<<<', var_export( $facebook, true ) ) . "\n\n" ); echo( "\n=====>>>>> Session array:\n" . var_export( $_SESSION, true ) . "\n\n" ); echo( 'Trying to get user ID...' ); $user_id = $facebook->getUser(); echo( "done.\n\n" ); echo( "User ID:\n" . var_export( $user_id, true ) . "\n\n" ); echo( "\n=====>>>>> Session array:\n" . var_export( $_SESSION, true ) . "\n\n" ); echo( 'Trying to get user profile info...' ); try { $user_profile = $facebook->api( '/me' ); echo( "done.\n\n" ); echo( "User profile info:\n" . var_export( $user_profile, true ) . "\n\n" ); } catch( Exception $exception ) { echo( "fail. Probably user is not logged in.\n\n" ); echo( "Exception:\n--------\n" . str_replace( $app_secret, '>>>APP_SECRET<<<', var_export( $exception, true ) ) . "\n--------\n\n" ); $user_id = null; echo( "User ID is now NULL.\n\n" ); } echo( "\n=====>>>>> Session array:\n" . var_export( $_SESSION, true ) . "\n\n" ); if( $user ) { echo( 'Seems like user is logged in. Getting logout url...' ); $url = $facebook->getLogoutUrl(); echo( "done.\n\n" ); } else { echo( 'Seems like user is NOT logged in. Getting login url...' ); $url = $facebook->getLoginUrl( array( 'scope' => 'read_stream, publish_stream, user_birthday,' . ' user_location, user_work_history, user_hometown,' . ' user_photos', 'redirect_uri' => $redirect_uri, ) ); echo( "done.\n\n" ); } echo( 'URL:<br></pre><a href=' . $url .">Login / Logout</a><pre>\n\n" ); echo( "\n=====>>>>> Session array:\n" . var_export( $_SESSION, true ) . "\n\n" ); if( $user ) { echo( 'Seems like user is still logged in. Trying to get some profile' . ' info...' ); echo( "\nCreating request...\n" ); $queries = array( array( 'method' => 'GET', 'relative_url' => '/' . $user, ), array( 'method' => 'GET', 'relative_url' => '/' . $user . '/home?limit=50', ), array( 'method' => 'GET', 'relative_url' => '/' . $user . '/friends', ), array( 'method' => 'GET', 'relative_url' => '/' . $user .

"\n\n" ); echo( "\nEncoding request using JSON format...\n" ); $queries_encoded = json_encode( $queries ); echo( "Encoded request:\n\n" . var_export( $queries_encoded, true ) . "\n\n" ); try { echo( "\nTrying to get response...\n" ); $response = $facebook->api( '?batch=' . $queries_encoded, 'POST' ); echo( "Response:\n\n" . var_export( $response, true ) . "\n\n" ); echo( "\nTrying to decode response...\n" ); echo( "\n" . json_decode( $response[0]['body'], true ) . "\n" ); echo( "\n" . json_decode( $response[1]['body'], true ) . "\n" ); echo( "\n" . json_decode( $response[2]['body'], true ) . "\n" ); echo( "\n" . json_decode( $response[3]['body'], true ) .

After the first visit to this page (I have not logged in to Facebook), I get this output:

Then I try to login using this URL. This brings me to my Facebook application authorization page. After confirming the requested permissions, it redirects me to this URL:

 http://mysite.localhost/?state=84260edcd60940884d261812496a488c&code=AQDkHPlXXweEiTjXg-sUXwwQAy0_xRYc89Opfz6AF9dlGOomCSG7fjf0440ctHuADKMEG4P7CheeNx9PnwUta-jkfpm03MjDCKyieOZpIPG-evlKYm64mRxD2Q5f_-HJROIC9I_-lHswr5RT3huSQySA55pD28b07Ouv87NqihZ1brGfU-_0LyhcdldtNikb-2xn6NRpa17xEmU37pBqDV1r#_=_ 

After that, I expect that I will log in and my page will load and show me some information from my Facebook profile, but it is not. I get this output:

Please help me figure out why the login does not work? Why doesn't the Facebook class instance retrieve the access token? And why does the Facebook :: getUser () method always return 0? How can i fix this?

Going to strike is patience:

Possible Reason 1: Your FB code looks good - but your error says:

"Failed to connect to 2a03: 2880: 2050: 1f01: face: b00c: 0: 2: network unavailable," indicating a cURL problem.

Can you confirm that your cURL is installed / working on your web server? Simple phpinfo (); I will tell you.

Possible Cause 2: Make sure your application URL is set to the location where the tests are running. Your forwarding URI is "http: //mysite.localhost/" - so make sure it matches on the setup page of your application.

Finally,

just start with the basics and then start adding all your extra code. This works for me:

 <?php require 'src/facebook.php'; $facebook = new Facebook(array( 'appId' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'secret' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', )); // See if there is a user from a cookie $user = $facebook->getUser(); if ($user) { try { // Proceed knowing you have a logged in user who authenticated. $user_profile = $facebook->api('/me'); $logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl(); } catch (FacebookApiException $e) { echo '<pre>'.htmlspecialchars(print_r($e, true)).'</pre>'; $user = null; $loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl($params); } } ?> <?php if ($user) { ?> Your user profile is <?php print htmlspecialchars(print_r($user_profile, true)) ?> <a href="<?php echo $logoutUrl; ?>">Logout</a> <?php } else { ?> <a href="<?php echo $loginUrl; ?>">Login with Facebook</a> <?php } ?>'
