Facebook SDK PHP 5.0 getLoginUrl () Error 500
I am trying to use the examples provided in Facebook PHP SDK 5.0 to log into Facebook. I am returning 500 Internal Server Error. I am using the Baby plan from HostGator which is running Php 5.5.27 PHP INFO . Is there any configuration I will need to add to my server to get everything to work?
login.php
<?php
session_start();
// Include the required dependencies.
require_once( 'vendor/autoload.php' );
// Initialize the Facebook PHP SDK v5.
$fb = new Facebook\Facebook([
'app_id' => '495994870548274',
'app_secret' => '593f18b375c9e23d34b9794136cf7158',
'default_graph_version' => 'v2.3',
]);
$helper = $fb->getRedirectLoginHelper();
$permissions = ['email']; // Optional permissions
$loginUrl = $helper->getLoginUrl('http://techcomsgb.com/kidneytest/login-callback.php', $permissions);
echo '<a href="' . $loginUrl . '">Log in with Facebook!</a>'

if (! isset($accessToken)) {

I had this error too. Most of the stuff was on the hosting side . I have fixed some things.
- Check PHP 5.4 or higher hosting
- Check included mbstring
- Set mbstring values โโin php.ini
MBString Values โโSample Image

Then, in callback.php Facebook Exceptions didn't work, so I change it to PHP Exception Method like this:
try {
$accessToken = $helper->getAccessToken();
} catch(Exception $e) {
// There was an error communicating with Graph
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
Then I get an error. It was the date. Timezone, I added to php.ini file and now everything works.
[date] date.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"

This is because you forgot to place app-id
in this section:
// Validation (these will throw FacebookSDKException when they fail)
$tokenMetadata->validateAppId({app-id}); // Replace {app-id} with
// your app id
// If you know the user ID this access token belongs to, you can validate
// it here
//$tokenMetadata->validateUserId('123');
$tokenMetadata->validateExpiration();
Replace {app-id}
with your ID and then it should work. I'm surprised no one on Facebook pointed this out.

For me, this was the link returned $helper->getLoginUrl()
, so I just replaced https://www.facebook.com/v2.8/dialog/oauth with https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize .
$login_url = $login_helper->getLoginUrl('www.yoururl.com/fb-callback.php'), $permissions);
$login_url = str_replace('https://www.facebook.com/v2.8/dialog/oauth?', 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?', $login_url);
See this post for Facebook oauth help authorize url and parameters
"when you want to create a login flow manually you must use / oauth / authorize .. else if you are using the javascript / Apps api provided by facbook it uses / dialog / oauth"
