I have this code in php that used to work, but now it doesn't, and even thoug it sounds like a lie, I did not touch anything!

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => 'myApp',
  'secret' => 'mySecret',
  'cookie' => true ,
  'scope' => 'read_stream','manage_pages'
));


$user = $facebook->getUser();

if ($user!=0) {
   doStaff;
}else{
   $login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl($params = array('scope' => "read_stream"));
   echo ("<script> top.location.href='".$login_url."'</script>");
}

The problem now is that gets stack in an infinite loop.

Any help would be really appreciate.

You are probably using the deprecated Facebook PHP SDK. Try to get the latest Facebook PHP SDK

  • But I downloaded it last month and it worked. Can that be possible? – Nahikari Otermin Nov 30 '12 at 10:22
  • Did `$facebook->getUser()` return valid user ID? If it returned 0, open `base_facebook.php`, go to `getUserFromAccessToken()` function and print out the exception. I was having this problem yesterday and found that the SDK I'm using is deprecated 4 months ago. – Stanley Nov 30 '12 at 10:31
  • Thank you so much. That was the problem. Anyway, I'd like to know how often do these change and if Facebook sends a message to let us know there is a new SDK. – Nahikari Otermin Nov 30 '12 at 11:24
  • I have no idea. I was also surprise that the function doesn't work. The `getUserFromAccessToken()` function should return the exception instead of just returning 0. – Stanley Nov 30 '12 at 15:08
