Even if you’re not going to do a server-side redirect as suggested, there would be no need to “click a link with jQuery”, but instead a simple assignment of the URL to `location.href` would achieve the same thing. — CBroe, Feb 13 '16 at 14:17

Why not do this with header location? Here´s how that works: PHP header(Location: ...): Force URL change in address bar

For example:

$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array('redirect_uri' => $homeurl, 'scope' => $fbPermissions));
header("Location: " . $loginUrl);

Official docs: http://php.net/manual/function.header.php

No need for using an $output variable, or for creating a login page (if you want to auto-redirect anyway). Just redirect the user if he is not logged in yet. No need to do something shady like "auto-clicking the login button". It´s not a solution, it´s a bad workaround. Although, it would be a lot better if you would let the user click it. Redirecting to the login page without a proper intro page, where he can see what the App is about, is not a good idea.

Even better: Use the JavaScript SDK for login: http://www.devils-heaven.com/facebook-javascript-sdk-login/

Actually i have signin button in my website.so on click of that button it will redirect the above page but i dont want to show this simply i want to redirect to facebook page. – Kavya Shree Feb 13 '16 at 09:43
then check out header location. using javascript for auto-clicking is a really bad idea. you just want to redirect users who are not logged in to the login page, right? – andyrandy Feb 13 '16 at 09:44
In my code i specify homeurl severname everything in config.php file.i want to specify as variable only.. how it is possible in header. See my code there is $loginUrl and $output variable. Line no 7&8 – Kavya Shree Feb 13 '16 at 09:49
One issue. if i removed that $output while redirecting it s not working correctly there is again problem in redirecting – Kavya Shree Feb 13 '16 at 10:34

i don´t see any error, works fine for me. add a die() after the header call just in case. i hope you did not remove the $output variable in the other code too, where the user is logged in already? – andyrandy Feb 13 '16 at 10:40

If you want to change the webpage's URL, you do not need to use jQuery to click the link. Instead, there is a simpler way.

JS:

window.location = "http://www.example.com/";

By changing the window.location, you can "redirect" to a new URL.

If you want to redirect only after an event, you can put that in a function of yours.

Example:

window.location = "http://www.example.com"
