Nowadays the web users are not interested in filling a big form for registration on the website. The short registration process helps to get more subscribers to your website.
Login with Facebook is a quick and powerful way to integrate registration and login system on the website. Facebook is the most popular social network and most of the users have a Facebook account.
Facebook Login allows users to sign in to your website using their Facebook account credentials without sign up on your website.
PHP SDK allows accessing the Facebook API from the web application. You can easily implement the Login with Facebook account using Facebook SDK for PHP. This tutorial will show how you can implement user login and registration system with Facebook using PHP and store the user profile data into the MySQL database. Our example Facebook Login script uses Facebook PHP SDK v5 with Facebook Graph API to build Facebook Login system with PHP and MySQL.
To get started with the latest version of Facebook SDK v5.x, make sure your system meets the following requirements.
- PHP version should be 5.4 or greater.
- The mbstring extension should be enabled.
Before you begin to integrate Login with Facebook using PHP, take a look the files structure.

Create Facebook App
To access Facebook API you need to create a Facebook App and specify the App ID & App Secret at the time of calling the Facebook API. Follow the step-by-step guide to create Facebook App and generate App ID & Secret in the Facebook Developers Dashboard.
- Go to the Facebook for Developers page and log in with your Facebook account.
- Click the My Apps link at the top navigation bar and select Add New App.
- Enter the Display Name and Contact Email.
- Click on the Create App ID button.
- You will be redirected to the App Dashboard.
- Navigate to the Settings » Basic page.
- Specify the App Domains and select the Category of your App.
- Click the Save Changes.
- Navigate to the Add a Product page by clicking the PRODUCTS(+) link at the left navigation menu panel.
- Select Facebook Login to Set Up.
- Select Web as the App platform.
- Enter the Site URL and Save.
- Navigate to the Facebook Login » Settings page.
- In the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs field, enter the Redirect URL.
- Click the Save Changes.
Go to the Settings » Basic page, note the App ID and App Secret. This App ID and App secret allow you to access the Facebook APIs.
Note that: The App ID and App secret need to be specified in the script at the time of Facebook API call. Also, the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs must be matched with the Redirect URL that specified in the script.
Get the Profile Link and Gender
To retrieve the user’s Facebook timeline link and gender, you need to submit a request for user_link and user_gender permissions.
- Go to the App Review » Permissions and Features page.
- Request for
user_link
anduser_gender
permissions and submit the required information.
Once the review process is completed and approved by the Facebook, you will be able to get the user profile link and gender from the Facebook Graph API.

Create Database Table
To store the user’s profile information from Facebook, a table needs to be created in the database. The following SQL creates a users
table with some basic fields in the MySQL database to hold the Facebook account information.
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`oauth_provider` enum('facebook','google','twitter','') COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`oauth_uid` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`first_name` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(25) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`gender` varchar(10) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
`picture` varchar(200) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`link` varchar(100) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
Facebook SDK for PHP
The facebook-php-graph-sdk/ directory contains the latest version (v5) of Facebook SDK for PHP. You don’t need to download it separately, all the required files of Facebook PHP SDK v5 are included in our Facebook Login PHP source code.
User Class (User.class.php)
The User class handles the database related operations (connect, insert, and update) using PHP and MySQL. It helps to connect to the database and insert/update Facebook account data in the users table.
- __construct() – Connect to the MySQL database.
- checkUser() – Insert or update the user profile data based on the OAuth provider and ID. Returns the user’s account data as an array.
<?php

}
Site Settings and API Configuration (config.php)
The database settings and Facebook API configuration constant variables are defined in the config.php
file.
Database Constants:
- DB_HOST – Specify the database host.
- DB_USERNAME – Specify the database username.
- DB_PASSWORD – Specify the database password.
- DB_NAME – Specify the database name.
- DB_USER_TBL – Specify the table name where the user’s account data will be stored.
Facebook API Constants:
- FB_APP_ID – Specify the Facebook App ID.
- FB_APP_SECRET – Specify the Facebook App Secret.
- FB_REDIRECT_URL – Specify the Callback URL.
Call Facebook API:
- The PHP SDK library is used to connect with Facebook API and working with OAuth client.
<?php /* * Basic Site Settings and API Configuration */ // Database configuration define('DB_HOST', 'MySQL_Database_Host'); define('DB_USERNAME', 'MySQL_Database_Username'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'MySQL_Database_Password'); define('DB_NAME', 'MySQL_Database_Name'); define('DB_USER_TBL', 'users'); // Facebook API configuration define('FB_APP_ID', 'Insert_Facebook_App_ID'); define('FB_APP_SECRET', 'Insert_Facebook_App_Secret'); define('FB_REDIRECT_URL', 'Callback_URL'); // Start session if(!session_id()){ session_start(); } // Include the autoloader provided in the SDK require_once __DIR__ .

Note that: You’ll find the App ID and App Secret on your Facebook App settings page.
Login & Get Facebook Account Data (index.php)
In this file, the Facebook API authentication process is handled using PHP.
- Initially, the authentication URL is generated using getLoginUrl() method of login helper class and Facebook Sign-in button is displayed on the web page.
- If the user authenticates with their Facebook account, the following happens:
- The profile information is retrieved from the Facebook account using Facebook Graph API.
- The account data is inserted into the database using checkUser() function of User class.
- The user’s account info is stored in the SESSION.
- The Facebook profile details (Name, First name, Last name, Email, Gender, Picture, and Profile link) is displayed on the webpage.
- Also, the Logout link is generated using getLogoutUrl() method of the login helper class.
<?php
// Include configuration file
require_once 'config.php';

$longLivedAccessToken = $oAuth2Client->getLongLivedAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);
$_SESSION['facebook_access_token'] = (string) $longLivedAccessToken;
// Set default access token to be used in script
$fb->setDefaultAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);

Logout (logout.php)
If the user wishes to log out from their Facebook account, the logout.php file is loaded.
- Remove access token and user data from the SESSION.
- Redirect the user to the homepage.
<?php // Include configuration file require_once 'config.php'; // Remove access token from session unset($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']); // Remove user data from session unset($_SESSION['userData']); // Redirect to the homepage header("Location:index.php"); ?>
