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

?>
<!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 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['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 .

      • Just a guess, but if you followed the instructions, the code should work as far as links go. Could it be something with your hosted web server settings? Are you using the correct PHP version 5.4+? Maybe the URL on the Facebook App is incorrect?

  4. Hey – It seems like the OAuth version will be deprecated soon … Did you by any chance thought about improving the connector ? Love your work btw!
