PHP code cannot see query string param on return in Facebook oAuth flow
- by TMC
I am doing some integration with Facebook Open Graph using their oAuth flow and having issues with parsing query string parameters they return.
On my callback URL, they pass back an "access_token" parameter with a hash (#). so the callback would be:
http://mydomain.com/callback.php#access_token=foobar123
where foobar123 is my access token I'm trying to parse out.
However, no matter what I do, my PHP code cannot see if and I've done every debug trick I know (even using phpinfo() to go through everything). The URL is stated only as http://mydomain.com/callback.php. It's as if the rest of the URL isn't really there!
This code returns nothing:
$token = $_REQUEST['access_token'];
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm obviously missing something simple.
