Auto Login With PHP Facebook Connect + JS

Solution 1:

the problem is that the php user check $user = $facebook->getUser(); doesn't recognized facebook session

Well of course it can’t – because server-side it can only access the cookies set for your domain. But Facebook can not set a cookie for your domain without the user being on that domain and interacting with Facebook.

and I think that maybe I can trigger it with JS.

Just embed the JavaScript SDK, initialize it and set the cookie: true parameter. That will make the JS SDK set a cookie under your domain, which PHP can read on the next request.

If you want to recognize a returning user “immediately”, then you would have to check client-side for this, and reload your page once when the appropriate conditions are met: JS SDK recognized returning user (FB.getLoginStatus), but PHP did not recognize him yet (have your PHP code set a variable/flag, that your JS can evaluate) – then reload page via JS, so that PHP can read the cookie that was just set by the client-side JS.

Solution 2:

Are you performing proper:

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
    'appId'  => $app_id,
    'secret' => $app_secret,
    'cookie' => true
));

before calling this method? Are you using same domain?
