session_start();
// added in v4.0.0
require_once 'autoload.php';
//require 'functions.php';  
use FacebookFacebookSession;
use FacebookFacebookRedirectLoginHelper;
use FacebookFacebookRequest;
use FacebookFacebookResponse;
use FacebookFacebookSDKException;
use FacebookFacebookRequestException;
use FacebookFacebookAuthorizationException;
use FacebookGraphObject;
use FacebookEntitiesAccessToken;
use FacebookHttpClientsFacebookCurlHttpClient;
use FacebookHttpClientsFacebookHttpable;
// init app with app id and secret
FacebookSession::setDefaultApplication( '64296382121312313','8563798aasdasdasdweqwe84' );
// login helper with redirect_uri
    $helper = new FacebookRedirectLoginHelper('https://www.krizna.com/fbconfig.php' );

  $session = $helper->getSessionFromRedirect();
} catch( FacebookRequestException $ex ) {
  // When Facebook returns an error
} catch( Exception $ex ) {
  // When validation fails or other local issues
}

if ( isset( $session ) ) {
  // graph api request for user data
  $request = new FacebookRequest( $session, 'GET', '/me' );
  $response = $request->execute();
  // get response
  $graphObject = $response->getGraphObject();
     	$fbid = $graphObject->getProperty('id');              // To Get Facebook ID
 	    $fbfullname = $graphObject->getProperty('name'); // To Get Facebook full name
	    $femail = $graphObject->getProperty('email');    // To Get Facebook email ID
	/* ---- Session Variables -----*/
	    $_SESSION['FBID'] = $fbid;           
        $_SESSION['FULLNAME'] = $fbfullname;
	    $_SESSION['EMAIL'] =  $femail;
  //checkuser($fuid,$ffname,$femail);
  header("Location: index.php");
} else {
  $loginUrl = $helper->getLoginUrl();
 header("Location: ".$loginUrl);
}
?>

logout.php file overview

Logout.php file is used only to destroy facebook session and return back to your home page .
Step 7 » Enter your home page in the code to redirect after logout.

<?php 
session_start();
session_unset();
    $_SESSION['FBID'] = NULL;
    $_SESSION['FULLNAME'] = NULL;
    $_SESSION['EMAIL'] =  NULL;
header("Location: index.php");        // you can enter home page here ( Eg : header("Location: " ."https://www.krizna.com/home.php"); 
?>

index.php file overview

Step 8 » You can change this file as per your need . Split this file into 2 parts before login and after login.

<?php
session_start();
?>
<!doctype html>
<html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
  <head>
    <title>Login with facebook</title>
   --- --- --- 
  css stuff
   --- --- ----
 </head>
  <body>
  <?php if ($_SESSION['FBID']): ?>    
              -- --- - - - -- - 
           Display content After user login
             -- -- - --- ---- -- -  
    <?php else: ?>     
              -- --- - - - -- - 
           Display content before login
             -- -- - --- ---- -- -  
    <?php endif ?>
  </body>
</html>

Finally full code of index.php file .

<?php
session_start(); 
?>
<!doctype html>
<html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
  <head>
    <title>Login with Facebook</title>
<link href="http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.2.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> 
 </head>
  <body>
  <?php if ($_SESSION['FBID']): ?>      <!--  After user login  -->
<div class="container">
<div class="hero-unit">
  <h1>Hello <?php echo $_SESSION['USERNAME']; ?></h1>
  <p>Welcome to "facebook login" tutorial</p>
  </div>
<div class="span4">
 <ul class="nav nav-list">
<li class="nav-header">Image</li>
	<li><img src="https://graph.facebook.com/<?php echo $_SESSION['USERNAME']; ?>/picture"></li>
<li class="nav-header">Facebook ID</li>
<li><?php echo  $_SESSION['FBID']; ?></li>
<li class="nav-header">Facebook fullname</li>
<li><?php echo $_SESSION['FULLNAME']; ?></li>
<div><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></div>
</ul></div></div>
    <?php else: ?>     <!-- Before login --> 
<div class="container">
<h1>Login with Facebook</h1>
           Not Connected
<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 .
Good luck

  1. Hey, nice script, but could you modify it to just logout from the website and not distroing whole session and logging you out from facebook too?

    • in fbconfig.php ..
      $loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array(
      ‘scope’ => ’email’, // Permissions to request from the user
      ‘redirect_uri’ => ‘https://https://www.krizna.com/general/login-with-facebook-using-php/’ // redirect url after login
      ));

  3. In functions.php you have this:

    $check = mysql_query(“select * from Users where Fuid=’$fbid'”);
    $check = mysql_num_rows($check);
    if (empty($check)) {

    The variable $check make redundancy and put two records duplicated into the database, I´m fixing with this

    $check = mysql_query(“select * from Users where Fuid=’$fbid'”);
    $counter = mysql_num_rows($check);
    if ($counter > 0) {

    I´am not sure using empty function because empty return true if de the variable is declared or have the value 0

    • @isaacfraireheredia:disqus

      $check = mysql_num_rows($check);
      //if new user.. $check will be 0 since it will not find any record and below condition will be true .. it ill insert new record ( new user )
      if (empty($check)) {

      Now check yours

      $counter = mysql_num_rows($check);
      //if new user .. $check will be 0 .. and below condition will be false .. no record inserted..
      if ($counter > 0) {

      hope this helps u

  7. I am facing an error that is->Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or more
    of the given URLs is not allowed by the App’s settings. It must match
    the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one
    of the App’s domains.
    how can i solve this

    • have to make sure your domain name and the domain in the app settings on facebook match, inclusing the subdomain or www. part(if you have qwerty.com on one and type http://www.qwerty.com in the other , it wont work) for same reason it doesn’t work on a localhost unless there is a workaround

  11. Bro, thanks a lot for this. Very helpful. I’d like to just point out that this code is no longer working. But just add that big ass fb_ca_chain_bundle.crt file in the src folder and it works…but it’s not recognizing the username attribute anymore among the user details.

  13. Nice job. In my case, the variable $funame is not getting the username from facebook through $fbuname = $user_profile[‘username’]; The other vars are getting the right. Any guess?

    • probably same issue, if i click logout it logs me out of facebook, but i stay logged in the website using this script with full access to my fb data.(just using vanilla copy of script atm). any suggestions?

      • only way i seem to be able to revoke access to profile is to remove app in my facebook settings. bit problem, since if someone logs into my site on a PC, then logs out, someone else comes on PC – they immediately get access to previous account since logout doesn’t work and they can see all previous users fb details displayed, without even needing a fb login :/ googling fix now, but thus far seems noone else has/has noticed this issue :(… search continues…

        • Same issue here. Fixed.

          Go to index.php page. Replace the logout link with the following link:

          Logout

          go to logout.php and change the header location to your desired url.
