Hello All,
I have a website where i want to get visitor's facebook info (if any) like his name, country, etc and insert into database. I am just looking for a simple way to get his fb info and insert into database, no redirection like facebook connect. Any clues?
Thanks in advance :)
If you're not using facebook connect, you need to somehow get his Facebook ID and get his information from that.
You can't.
There is no way for you to get that information except if you know his Facebook ID.
Even if you could technically accomplish this -- and a few solutions come to mind, all involving some variation of screen-scraping -- you would be violating the Facebook terms of service and US privacy law.
You can accomplish this with Facebook Connect, and it does not require redirection to Facebook. It's just a simple pop-up window where the user enters their Facebook username/password. It's very easy, very elegant, and has the advantage of not landing you in prison. :-)
