            'secret' => APP_SECRET,
            ));

  } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {

        die("There was an error.");
    }
} else {

    # There's no active session, let's generate one

    $login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array( 'scope' => 'email'));

Answer 1

There seems to be some issue with your Facebook Plugin , that's why $user coming as 0. There can be many other reason behind it too. You need to re-check your APP_ID and APP_SECRET as well.

Most importantly, you need to follow below links and update accordingly.

https://github.com/facebook/php-graph-sdk

Or

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/web/login-button/

In my case, i was requesting granted_scopes along with redirecting to provider

then in callback - and as long as there are required scopes in array of declined scopes , i re-requested back but forgot to set granted scopes again, so i ended up in the redirect loop error between application and facebook. Maybe it's your case too.

There is something wrong with Facebook dashboard at the time of this writing.

You could wait for the fix or try skipping dashboard by editing the url by replacing "/dashboard/" with "/settings/basic/".

PS: I had checked browser extensions, cleared browsing history and cookies, disabled Web shields to no avail, only this worked.
