I am using PHP SDK 2.1.2 and using the standard http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js as the JS SDK.
This is what i want to achieve:
1) Initialize JS Sdk, Call Fb.UI with (email,user_location,user_birthday), method: 'oauth', in response, if the user successfully gives permission do an ajax call to the server and then use PHP-SDK to do a call to Graph API and get the required data. (Well, you might argue to do a call to graph API via JS SDK but the current scenario requires me to use PHP SDK)
The Problem
The file which is called via ajax does not initialize the session and i get null, instead the facebook sdk should ideally load the cookies and have an active session since the permission is granted on the client side already.
My Code
Main File
<?php
session_start();
header('P3P:CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT"');
require 'src/facebook.php';
// Create our Application instance (replace this with your appId and secret).
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'secret' => 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy',
'cookie' => true,
));
$session = $facebook->getSession();
$me = null;
// Session based API call.
if ($session) {
try {
$uid = $facebook->getUser();
$me = $facebook->api('/me');
print_r($me);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
}
}
?>

});
function getpermission(){
FB.ui({
method: 'oauth',
client_id: <?php echo $facebook->getAppId(); ?>,
perms: 'email,user_location,user_birthday'
},function(permObj) {
if(permObj){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'page2.php',
dataType:'text',
success: function(data) {
return;
},
error:function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
alert(xhr.status);
alert(thrownError);
}
});
}
});
}
</script>
</body>
The File called via AJAX
<?php
session_start();
header('P3P:CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT"');
require 'src/facebook.php';
// Create our Application instance (replace this with your appId and secret).
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'secret' => 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy',
'cookie' => true,
));
$session = $facebook->getSession();
$me = null;
// Session based API call.
if ($session) {
try {
$uid = $facebook->getUser();
$me = $facebook->api('/me');
print_r($me);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
error_log($e);
}
}
echo "hello";
?>
If you see in the above example, i should get the whole /me object in the alert box instead i just get "hello". I don't know why this isn't working? What am i missing?
Scenario:- If i do a page reload (top.location.href) after permissions are granted i get the desired objects but we are trying to avoid a reload with this mechanism. I have also tried to set the desired P3P headers because i thought there might be some cookie issue but it still fails to load.
Also, i have tried this with PHP SDK 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 3.0.1, i have heard somewhere that the newer PHP-SDKs are not yet compatible with JS SdK, is it true?
Thanks in advance.
