Facebook connect integration (registration & login)

A:

Don't send data to register.php via _POST. Use the facebook php SDK's methods to retrieve the data from current logged in user's session.

Hi,I'm already doing that, a var_dump() shows me that all data I want are retrieved, but I'd like facebook to redirect me to my register.php page where, if a facebook user is connected, the form is auto sent and then create the user in my database.And the problem is that whatever I put in whatever fb application settings pages, it won't send me to my registration page.

"but I'd like facebook to redirect me to my register.php page where, if a facebook user is connected, the form is auto sent" - this is a bad idea. i already said what is common way. "it won't send me to my registration page" and how this related to question? don't mix a lot of issues in one question, decompose them into different troubles.

A bad idea? Then what do you suggest? In the php-sdk there isn't anything about inserting data into our own db. It's all about retrieving and displaying information (which DOES work in my case as I said before). Instead of auto-sending my form I think I would like to pre-filled the form. Sounds better to you? Anyway in this case, because of the redirect (I think) the facebook logged user is logged off in the next page =/

%) you have conceptual troubles on how to ask questions and to program. "It's all about retrieving and displaying information". so? just replace "echo" with "mysql_query" and insert data in database. "Anyway in this case, because of the redirect (I think) the facebook logged user is logged off" - this is another issue. you did something wrong - redirect should not cause the logging off.

I finally managed to get all of this working, so if you're still struggling here is what I've done :

Concerning my redirect problem: the facebook php-sdk class redirection page ("next" attribute) is DIRECTLY written, so I just change the 'next' value given in the getLoginUrl() and getLogoutUrl() function.
Concerning the lost of the facebook login between the pages: the problem was that the domain of the cookie created wasn't specified, so I added " 'domain' => 'mydomain.com', " for the declaration of my new Facebook instance.

Maybe it would help some people,
Nicolas
