POGetting Facebook user from access token (PHP SDK 3.0.1)
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an application that utilizes it's own login and facebook login combined. I use my own sessions and cookie to remember the user. I want to remember facebook user but without offline_access, so i figured to set my own cookie for facebook users and when they return just get new access_token from facebook because they have already authorized the app.</p> <p>I managed to do all of that when the user logins for the first time but when they come back and I detect a cookie and I get a valid new access_token I can't put it inside facebook session. I use PHP SDK 3.0.1 and there is a function</p> <blockquote> <p>$this->fb->getUserFromAccessToken($token) </p> </blockquote> <p>inside base_facebook.php but it just throws me a server error when I use it. (fb is my class that extends Facebook class and $token is the valid new token)</p> <p>When I use</p> <blockquote> <p>$this->fb->getUser()</p> </blockquote> <p>it just returns 0.</p> <p>I know that I could get the information from</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=" rel="nofollow">https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=</a>$access_token</p> </blockquote> <p>but I need to put it somehow inside facebook session</p> <p>Also, there is a function inside base_facebook.php that works for me</p> <blockquote> <p>$this->fb->setAccessToken($access_token);</p> </blockquote> <p>So I can put the token inside the class and it works but when I call getUser() afterwards it still returns 0</p> <p>Any help appreciated Thanks!</p>
