(PHP ActiveX) Get Current User Information

Demonstrates how to retrieve information about the current Facebook user. This is the most basic thing to get working first (after obtaining an access token).

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// This example assumes we previously obtained an access token
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.OAuth2')
$oauth2 = new COM("Chilkat.OAuth2");
$oauth2->AccessToken = 'FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN';

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Rest')
$rest = new COM("Chilkat.Rest");

// Connect to Facebook and send the following GET request:

// GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
// Host: graph.facebook.com
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect('graph.facebook.com',443,1,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
$rest->SetAuthOAuth2($oauth2);

$responseJson = $rest->fullRequestNoBody('GET','/v2.7/me');
if ($rest->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseJson . "\n";

// The responseJson looks like this:
// {"name":"John Doe","id":"10111011320111110"}
