Question

I am having problems with Facebook connect.
Once I have the connect with Facebook button how do i retrieve the info with php?

There are loads of examples in developer.facebook.com but I couldn’t get any of them to work.

Is it POST or GET or what? (I’m kinda new to php… )

Thanks.

1. Setup new App here
2. Download the PHP SDK here
3. Copy & Paste the code you’ll find here into a file called index.php
4. Edit the first lines of the code above and provide the needed informations like below:

---

require 'sdk/facebook.php'; //the path to the downloaded PHP SDK    

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => '105810212821284', //App ID you find once created the app
  'secret' => '3d6fdaa377cd4ca9...', //Secret Key you find once created the app
  'cookie' => true,
));

you have done 😉
