Facebook Connect PHP SDK

Facebook Connect is a set of APIs that make your application more social. With it you gain access to:

1. Identity: the user's name, photo and more User.
2. The Graph: the user's friends and connections Connection.
3. Distribution: the Stream, and the ability to communicate Publishing.
4. Integration: publishers, canvas pages, profile tabs.

This repository contains the open source PHP SDK that allows you to utilize the above on your website. Except as otherwise noted, the Facebook Connect PHP SDK is licensed under the Apache Licence, Version 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html)

Status

This is an alpha release. In order to guide the development of the library and allow you to freely inspect and use the source, we have open sourced the client PHP SDK. We do not have all the features we intend to build, but we will be building them incrementally in a transparent manner.

Currently, we have the first iteration of the PHP APIs that allow you to:

• Handle Authentication
• Make API calls

Usage

The examples are a good place to start. The minimal you'll need to have is:

<?php

require './facebook.php';

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => 'YOUR APP ID',
  'secret' => 'YOUR API SECRET',
  'cookie' => true, // enable optional cookie support
));

To make API calls:

try {
  $me = $facebook->api('/me');
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
  error_log($e);
}

Logged in vs Logged out:

if ($facebook->getSession()) {
  echo '<a href="' . $facebook->getLogoutUrl() . '">Logout</a>';
} else {
  echo '<a href="' . $facebook->getLoginUrl() . '">Login</a>';
}

Feedback

We are relying on the GitHub issues tracker linked from above for feedback. File bugs or other issues here.

Tests

We are working hard to ensure your experience using Connect is stable. In order to keep us nimble and allow us to bring you new functionality, without compromising on stability, we have ensured full test coverage of the new SDK. We are including this in the open source repository to assure you of our commitment to quality, but also with the hopes that you will contribute back to help keep it stable. The easiest way to do so is to file bugs and include a test case.
