 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>

<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

    • 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.

  1. The script seems awesome but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. When i press the login with facebook link It is sending me to a facebook link, but then im redirected back to the index page before i even login. Please help me! 😀

  2. I am getting this error: You are using a display type of ‘page’ in a small browser window or popup. For a better user experience, show this dialog with our JavaScript SDK without specifying an explicit display type. The SDK will choose the best display type for each environment. Alternatively, use display type ‘popup’ if you have special requirements precluding you from using the SDK. This message is only visible to developers of your application. Has anyone else had this problem?

  10. in functions.php, change this:
    Fuid=’$fbid'”
    to this:
    Fuid=’$fuid'”
    Or it’s gonna insert same users during every single login;)
