    'secret' => 'APP_SECRET'
));

// redirect and permission config (optional)
$config = array(
    'redirect_uri' => 'REDIRECT_URI',
    'scope' => 'APP_PERMISSIONS' // (comma-separated list)
);

$fb = new SimpleFacebook($facebookSDK, $config);

// Check user login

Extended Access Token

After removal of offline_access permission, you have to make a graph api call for get extended access token.

<?php 

$token = $fb->getExtendedAccessToken();
echo "Extented access token: {$token} <br>";

// with expire time
$tokenData = $fb->getExtendedAccessToken(true);
$token = $tokenData['access_token'];
$tokenExpires = time() + $tokenData['expires'];

echo "Extented access token: {$token} (Expires at {$tokenExpires})";

Friends

<?php 

$friends = $fb->getFriends();

foreach ($friends as $friend) {
    echo "Name: {$friend["name"]} ID: {$friend['id']} <br>";
}

// or just ids
$friendIds = $fb->getFriendIds();

Get user friends who using this application.

<?php 

$friends = $fb->getAppUserFriends();

foreach ($friends as $friend) {
    echo "Name: {$friend["name"]} Facebook ID: {$friend['uid']} <br>";
}

// or just ids
$friendIds = $fb->getAppUserFriendIds();

Permissions

<?php 

// get given permissions array
$perms = $fb->getGivenPermissions();

// check if a permission given
if ($fb->isPermGiven('read_stream')) {
    // now you can get user's news feed items
    $data = $fb->api('/me/home');
    // ..
}

// check multiple permissions
if ($fb->isPermGiven('read_stream,read_mailbox,user_likes')) {
    // ..
}

Request

If you are using Requests Dialog, you must delete the request after it has been accepted. It is the developer's responsibility to clear them.

<?php 

// get request ids after delete
$requestIds = $fb->getRequestIdsAfterDelete();

if (!empty($requestIds)) {

    foreach ($requestIds as $requestData) {

        $data = explode('_', $requestData);
        $requestId = $data[0];
        $userFbUid = $data[1];
        
        // your turn..
    }
}

Page Tab Application

If it is a tab application, you might want user to like page before using app.

<?php 

if (!$fb->isTabPageLiked()) {
    
    echo 'Like our page before using app';
    
} else {
    // ..
}

Get information about tab page.

<?php 

// ...?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID&app_data=YOUR_APP_DATA
$appData = $fb->getTabAppData();

// tab page id
$pageId  = $fb->getTabPageId();

Publish Open Graph Action

<?php 

$responseId = $fb->publishOpenGraphAction('YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE', 'ACTION_NAME', array(
    'OBJECT_TYPE' => 'OBJECT_URL'
));

Real-time Updates

Real-time Updates enable your application to subscribe to changes in data in Facebook.

<?php 

$object      = 'OBJECT'; // user, permissions or page
$fields      = 'FIELDS'; // friends, checkins, likes etc.
$callbackUrl = 'YOUR_CALLBACK_URL';
$verifyToken = 'YOUR_SECRET_VERIFY_TOKEN';

// subscribe to real-time updates
$fb->subscribe($object, $fields, $callbackUrl, $verifyToken);

// get list of subscripted updates
$subscriptions = $fb->getSubscriptions();

// unsubscribe from all subscripted objects
$fb->unsubscribe();

// unsubscribe from a specific subscripted object
$fb->unsubscribe('user');

And this is callback url part.

<?php 
// returns challenge parameter for subscription verification of your callback url
echo SimpleFacebook::getSubscriptionChallenge($verifyToken);

// get subscripted updates
$updates = SimpleFacebook::getSubscriptedUpdates();

if (!empty($updates)) {
    // there is a update!
}

Send Notification

With Notifications API, you can easily send notification to an application user.

<?php

$userId   = 'USER_FACEBOOK_ID';
$template = 'NOTIFICATION_TEXT';
$href     = 'RETURN_HREF'; // index.html?gift_id=123

$response = $fb->sendNotification($userId, $template, $href);

Run FQL Query

<?php 

// Get page fan count with running fql query
$query = "SELECT name, fan_count FROM page WHERE page_id = 40796308305";
$data  = $fb->runFQL($query);

echo 'Fan count: ' . $data[0]['fan_count'];

Check A Page Like

<?php 

if ($fb->isLogged() && $fb->isPageLiked('PAGE_ID')) {

    echo "Liked";

} else {
    echo "Didn't like";
}

Post to Wall

<?php 

// Post data
$postData = array(
    'message'     => 'Feed message',
    'picture'     => 'Address of image', 
    'link'        => 'URL',
    'name'        => 'URL title',
    'caption'     => 'Caption (under the URL title)',
    'description' => 'Description',
    'actions'     => array('name' => 'Action name', 'link' => 'Action link')
);

$postId = $fb->postToWall($postData);

Create Event

<?php 

// Event data
$eventData = array(
    'name'        => 'Event Title',
    'description' => 'Event description',
    'start_time'  => gmmktime(22,0,0,7,23,2012),
    'end_time'    => gmmktime(5,0,0,7,24,2012),
    'location'    => 'Event location',
    'privacy'     => 'OPEN'
);

$eventId = $fb->createEvent($eventData);

Force User to Login

If you have not a application login page or want user to use application after authenticated, use forceToLogin after initialize SimpleFacebook.

Application Access Token

Get your application access token with getApplicationAccessToken method. More information about application access token, read Using App Access Tokens
