Re: Session/Cookie problem with Facebook JS + PHP
I agree. A better way would be to stage your application with myapp.com (or whatever name you want), and set that in your hosts file. You'll need to adjust your Facebook App setting and your apache configuration to reflect this change.

Re: Session/Cookie problem with Facebook JS + PHP
Something is wrong removing localhost from your hosts file may have a negative impact on any applications that expect localhost, a de facto standard, to be the local loopback address. Besides that it should not affect cookies from another domain. Although the two may be related, I don't think you should declare victory yet.

Re: Session/Cookie problem with Facebook JS + PHP
The bad news is I am an idiot. The good news is the solution is to not use LOCALHOST. I changed C: \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts 'localhost' to 'localhost.com' and Facebook cookies work the way they should.

Re: Session/Cookie problem with Facebook JS + PHP
More information: I checked to be sure Facebook is instantiating correctly. I think CakePHP is preventing the Facebook class from getting the cookie data. Facebook::get_valid_fb_params() tries to access $_COOKIE but the only thing in there is $_COOKIE['CAKEPHP'] There is a weird fix on the FB Wiki but tricking Cake to use Facebook's session seems like the wrong thing to do. Given this problem, I don't understand how this works: http://cutfromthenorth.com/integrating-facebook-connect-with-cakephps-auth-component/ On Jul 19, 4:02 pm, "eric.winch...@gmail.com" wrote: > I'm attempting to use Facebook Connect with its PHP library. > > > > That gets the user logged in ok but then using the PHP libs: > > $facebook->get_loggedin_user() is always NULL.
