Question

This is my code:

$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array(
    'scope'         => 'publish_actions',
    'redirect_uri'  => 'http://mysite.com/',
    ));

It works but if I remove redirect_uri it doesn’t work anymore.

$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array(
    'scope'         => 'publish_actions'
    ));

According to Facebook domcumentation redirect_uri is optional.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/php/facebook-getLoginUrl/

Im trying to redirect the users to the same url they were on before logging in.

Update: This problem occurs when the url is mysite.com/post23 but when url is mysite.com/staticpage or mysite.com there are no problems

Any workarounds?

EDIT: It looks like a bug, it doesn’t work with certain url in the same site

I wil try and report it to Facebook.

I fixed this strange problem like this:

Include this line at the top of your files when user is not logged in:

$_SESSION['redir_after_auth'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

then check if user is trying to login and that session is set

if (isset($_GET['action']) AND $_GET['action']=="fblogin" && isset($_SESSION['redir_after_auth'])) {
    header('Location: ' . $_SESSION['redir_after_auth']);
}

$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array(
        'scope'         => 'publish_actions',
        'redirect_uri'  => 'mysite.com/?action=fblogin'
        ));
