Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.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
$oauth2 = new CkOAuth2();
$oauth2->put_AccessToken('FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN');

$rest = new CkRest();

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

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

print $responseJson . "\n";

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