What is the simplest way to add Facebook Connect to a PHP web site?

Facebook Connect I have spent a few weeks putting together a basic web site which uses Facebook connect as authentication. I have studied 'theRunAround', the provided example application.

Determine whether a user is a developer of a facebook app.

I'm looking at ways to secure the admin section of my (cakephp powered) Facebook application.

I need an attribute that handles Authorization for my controllers. This is for a facebook application and there are a few hurdles surrounding the problem.
