no access token or session initiated when passing user through $facebook->getLoginUrl();
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPPno access token or session initiated when passing user through $facebook->getLoginUrl();
I have run the php sdk example from Facebook and it runs fine on my server but when I dropped the code into a method of codeigniters controller it doesn't return a session at all - has anyone experienced this?
Even thought it has been authenticated and the user has accepted the application I failed to get a session back- the only thing that is in the session is
[fb_32567534414789_state] => 3d34472df552ad7fef1911d2f97122f0
Even the url parameters are being passed back from Facebook - both state and code have values.
The problem is that it runs fine and without issue in a standalone example but when I bring it into controller method it doesnt work.
I have commented out every line in my controllers constructor and its method. Then only listing the example code with a model method to pull the api key/secret from the db; And it doesn't work;
I recently upgraded to the latest sdk - I'm stuck and do not know what to do.
update
i have added two examples to my server to show how its operating
this is the standard sdk example in a controller method of a brand new codeigniter install (with the latest sdk pulled from github)
https://beta.exceleratedsolutions.com/testfb/welcome/testfb/
this is the standard sdk example

It could be because you have initiated a session elsewhere in your code if you are using session management of some kind.
You could try put the Facebook php-sdk into library folder instead of helper. Also, you might follow this tutorial, it worked for me, maybe you're not setting some needed configurations (steps 1 to 5), also check the end of the tutorial for May 3rd Update:

I don't understand you.
