Start With FACEBOOK LOGIN Using PHP

STEP 1: Create Facebook App

To access Facebook API, firstly you have to create Facebook App. Follow the below step to create Facebook App:

Select Facebook Login to Set Up.
Select Web as the App platform.
Enter the Site URL and click to Save Button.
Go to Facebook Login » Settings page
In the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs field, enter the Redirect URL.
Click the Save Changes

Go to setting » Basic page and Copy or note the App ID and App Secret.

STEP 2: Get the Profile Link and Gender

To get the profile link and gender or you want to access user’s Facebook timeline link and gender, then you need to submit a request for user_link and user_gender permissions. How to submit Request follow below steps:

Go to the App Review » Permissions and Features page.
Request for user_link and user_gender permissions and submit the required information.

Once Your Request is submitted then wait for the review process is completed by Facebook.

STEP 3: Create Database Table

Now you have to create a database table where you store the User data. we are using table_name ‘users’. The table the basic fields in the MySQL database to hold the Facebook account information.

CREATE TABLE `users` (
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `oauth_provider` enum('facebook','google','twitter','') COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 `oauth_uid` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `first_name` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `last_name` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `email` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `gender` varchar(10) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
 `picture` varchar(200) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `link` varchar(100) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
 `created` datetime NOT NULL,
 `modified` datetime NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

Facebook SDK for PHP

The facebook-php-chart sdk/registry contains the most recent adaptation (v5) of Facebook SDK for PHP. You don’t have to download it independently, all the required files of Facebook PHP SDK v5 are included in our Facebook Login PHP source code

User Class (User.class.php)

The User class handles the database related activities (connect, insert, and update) using PHP and MySQL. It assists to connect, insert, and update Facebook account information in the users table.

<?php

 * User Class 
 * This class is used for database related (connect, insert, and update) operations

            $conn = new mysqli($this->dbHost, $this->dbUsername, $this->dbPassword, $this->dbName); 
            if($conn->connect_error){ 
                die("Failed to connect with MySQL: " . $conn->connect_error); 
            }else{ 
                $this->db = $conn; 
            } 
        } 
    } 
     
    function checkUser($data = array()){ 
        if(!empty($data)){ 
            // Check whether the user already exists in the database 
            $checkQuery = "SELECT * FROM ".$this->userTbl." WHERE oauth_provider = '".$data['oauth_provider']."' AND oauth_uid = '".$data['oauth_uid']."'"; 
            $checkResult = $this->db->query($checkQuery); 
             
            // Add modified time to the data array 
            if(!array_key_exists('modified',$data)){

            }

                $query = "UPDATE ".$this->userTbl." SET ".$colvalSet.$whereSql; 
                $update = $this->db->query($query); 
            }else{

                // Prepare column and value format 
                $columns = $values = ''; 
                $i = 0; 
                foreach($data as $key=>$val){ 
                    $pre = ($i > 0)?', ':''; 
                    $columns .= $pre.$key; 
                    $values  .= $pre."'".$this->db->real_escape_string($val)."'"; 
                    $i++;

            // Get user data from the database 
            $result = $this->db->query($checkQuery); 
            $userData = $result->fetch_assoc(); 
        } 
         
        // Return user data 
        return !empty($userData)?$userData:false; 
    } 
}

Site Settings and API Configuration (config.php)

Database Constants:

DB_HOST – Specify the database host.
DB_USERNAME – Specify the database username.
DB_PASSWORD – Specify the database password.
DB_NAME – Specify the database name.
DB_USER_TBL – Specify the table name where the user’s account data will be stored.
Facebook API Constants:

FB_APP_ID – Specify the Facebook App ID.
FB_APP_SECRET – Specify the Facebook App Secret.
FB_REDIRECT_URL – Specify the Callback URL.

Call Facebook API:

The PHP SDK library is used to connect with Facebook API and working with OAuth client.

Logout (logout.php)
If the user wishes to log out from their Facebook account, the logout.php file is loaded.

Remove access token and user data from the SESSION.
Redirect the user to the homepage.
<?php
// Include configuration file
require_once 'config.php';

// Remove access token from session
unset($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);

// Remove user data from session
unset($_SESSION['userData']);

// Redirect to the homepage
header("Location:index.php");
?>

In this record, the Facebook API verification process is dealt with utilizing PHP.

If the user authenticates with their Facebook account, the following happens:
- The profile information is retrieved from the Facebook account using Facebook Graph API.
- The account data is inserted into the database using checkUser() function of User class.
- The user’s account info is stored in the SESSION.
- The Facebook profile details (Name, First name, Last name, Email, Gender, Picture, and Profile link) is displayed on the webpage.
- Also, the Logout link is generated using getLogoutUrl() method of the login helper class.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we’ve attempted to make Facebook Login execution speedier and easier. The model code incorporates Facebook Login with the Facebook SDK for PHP. You don’t have to add the SDK library documents independently, our source code contains every one of the necessary records with the SDK v5 for PHP. You just need to indicate some insignificant settings for adding login framework with Facebook to your site utilizing PHP.
