?>
<!doctype html>
<html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
  <head>
    <title>Login with facebook</title>
   --- --- --- 
  css stuff
   --- --- ----
 </head>
  <body>

<div class="container">
<div class="hero-unit">
  <h1>Hello <?php echo $_SESSION['USERNAME']; ?></h1>

  </div>
<div class="span4">

    <?php else: ?>     <!-- Before login --> 
<div class="container">
<h1>Login with Facebook</h1>

<div>
      <a href="fbconfig.php">Login with Facebook</a></div>
      </div>
    <?php endif ?>
  </body>
</html>

That’s it . now facebook users can login into your websites using facebook login ID.

Store the User information

» You can store the user info locally . Create a mysql database and import below table structure .

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `Users` (
  `UID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Fuid` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `Ffname` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
  `Femail` varchar(60) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`UID`)
);

» Open dbconfig.php file and change the DB vlaues.

<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'username');    // DB username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');    // DB password
define('DB_DATABASE', 'database');      // DB name
$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD) or die( "Unable to connect");
$database = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE) or die( "Unable to select database");
?>

» functions.php file contains a function to update the user information .

<?php
	require 'dbconfig.php';
	function checkuser($fuid,$ffname,$femail){
    	$check = mysql_query("select * from Users where Fuid='$fuid'");
		$check = mysql_num_rows($check);
		if (empty($check)) { // if new user . Insert a new record		
		$query = "INSERT INTO Users (Fuid,Ffname,Femail) VALUES ('$fuid','$ffname','$femail')";
		mysql_query($query);	
		} else {   // If Returned user . update the user record		
		$query = "UPDATE Users SET Ffname='$ffname', Femail='$femail' where Fuid='$fuid'";
		mysql_query($query);
		}
	}
?>

» Uncomment the below lines in fbconfig.php
require 'functions.php'; // Include functions
checkuser($fbid,$fbfullname,$femail); // To update local DB
That’s it .. now you can store the values locally .

Download contains all the configuration files .

  1. In March, we’re making a security update to your app settings that will invalidate calls from URIs not listed in the Valid OAuth redirect URIs field below.This update comes in response to malicious activity we saw on our platform, and we want to protect your app or website by requiring a new strict mode for redirect URIs they get this now , how can I fix it. all works fine without strict mode.
