PHP

Facebook

This is a lightweight API to create Facebook applications in haXe/PHP I wrote for a personal project.

I posted sources on google code .

I use in this API an extern class based on the facebook PHP-SDK.

Example : 

package;
import Facebook; 
import php.Lib;

class Sample
 {
       /*Facebook session /!\ very important*/
       public var facebook:Facebook;
			
       public static inline var APPURL 	    = "http://apps.facebook.com/YOUR_APP_NAME/";			
       public static inline var APPID       = "YOUR_APP_ID";
       public static inline var SECRET 	    = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY";

       /*Enable cookie*/
       public static inline var COOKIE      = true;
			
       static function main()
       {
             /*Start a new sample*/
             new Sample();
       }
       public function new()
       {  
           /*Get in a Hash-Table the previous constants*/
	   var params:Hash<Dynamic> = new Hash();
	   params.set('appId', APPID);
	   params.set('secret', SECRET);
	   params.set('cookie', COOKIE);
				
           /*init a new facebook session
           and that's all ... :)*/
	   facebook = FB.init(params, APPURL);	 
				
           /*Before to do anything in your app, just check if facebook session is set*/
	    if(facebook!=null)
	    {
                 /*Then do as you want...
                 or use some of the fiew features I added in the API*/
  
                  /*Get the current user profile or also his UID (user ID)*/
		  var currentUser = FB.getCurrentUser();
		  var currentUID = FB.getCurrentUID();
					 
                  /*Display his photo*/
		  Lib.print("<h3>You :</h3>");
		  Lib.print("<img src='https://graph.facebook.com/"+currentUID+"/picture'> <br/> "+currentUser.get('name'));  

		  /*Get the profile of a specific user*/ 
		  var akiavara = FB.getUser("100000322090295");
		  Lib.print("<h3>Akiavara :</h3>");
		  Lib.print("<img src='https://graph.facebook.com/100000322090295/picture'> <br/> "+akiavara.get('name'));  
					 
                  /*Get specific fields about a user*/
		  var fields = FB.getUserFields("raza.tiana", ["id", "name"]);
		  Lib.print("<br/><br/>My name is "+fields.get('name')); 
					 
	    }
      	}  
}

Try it :

  • First step, create your app on facebook.
  • Fill the basic form concerning your app.
  • Then click on the "CANVAS" section (on the left) and specify a Canvas Page URL and Canvas Callback URL for your application.

Cool, now let's code our app.

Get the sources on google code

Compile the example "Sample.hx" : open a terminal and write this command > 

haxe -main Sample -php ./

A directory named /lib will be created + a php file index.php. Upload them in the directory corresponding to your "canvas callback url" you specified in the previous form.

Test your app now :
http://apps.facebook.com/YOUR_APP_NAME

That's it !
