I'm writing a facebook application in PHP with the facebook SDK.
The important parts in my code are:
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => $ApplicationID,
'secret' => $ApplicationSecret,
'cookie' => true, // enable optional cookie support
));
$user = $facebook->getUser();
$post = $facebook->api('/' . $user . '/feed', 'post', array(
stuff
));
$_SESSION['finish'] = false;
$_SESSION['inside'] = 'yes';
$_SESSION['uid'] = $user;
$token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
echo 'Access token: ' .$token;
$_SESSION['friends'] = $facebook->api('/me/friends?access_token'.$token);
You can see I am echo
ing the access token.
At first, I haven't added the access_token
into the query - I just added it for checking.
The problem is that the last like (with the /me/friends/
) throws an exception:
OAuthException: An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.
Although I did a login, and the feed post
did work (I checked at my wall, it's there). Then, my try catch
block handles the exception by redirecting to the login link, this way:
catch(Exception $e) {
$login_url_params = array(
'scope' => 'stuff',
'fbconnect' => 1,
'redirect_uri' => $ApplicationURL
);
$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl($login_url_params);
//redirect to the login URL on facebook
echo ("EXCPETION! " . $e . "<script> top.location.href='" . $login_url . "'</script>");
exit();
}
The code writing the exception is obviously only for debugging purposes.
Well, the first time I run the application a similar code is executed by a if(!$user)
condition. Then it asks for my permission and I give it. Then, again, it says the access token is invalid (but does post to my wall).
Please note that I've compared the access_tokens, and even after removing the application and doing it all again - it stayed the same.
This is very awkward behavior and I fail to understand it. May anyone please shred some light on this?
Edit: For some weird reason, the token doesn't change even after going to a different user. But the post on the wall is still made... (And the exception thrown when accessing the friends list)
