如何在Android应用程序中从服务器端（PHP）的Facebook获取用户信息

Question

I am developing an Android application where the user authenticates his Facebook Login, then I need to get this user's information in the server side (PHP) What I did is that I obtained the access token from the Android after Login then sent it to the server side in order to get the user information directly through the pre-obtained access token, but apparently this is not the way it should work, because in PHP I initiate a new Facebook instance

$facebook = new Facebook(array( 'appId' => $appid, 'secret' => $app_secret ));
so does any body have a solution to how to pass the access token or the user ID to Facebook and open a session directly instead of logging-in again in the server side in order to open a session? Thanks A lot

Answer 1

You should be able to do something like this:

$facebook->setAccessToken("....");

The token is the one that you get on Android. You should be able to make calls to the api now, with the new token you've assigned the object with.

var_dump($facebook->api('/me'));
