split facebook authentication code from other functions

[soichi]

PHP 5.3.1

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

 

Currently I am working on Facebook web application which requires an authentication to extract fb information.

 

The authentication process is of course to be done when users intend to login. But I need to split files so that maintenance of codes would be easier.  More specifically, I want to have a single file.php that is responsible for the authentication, and other files read objects or whatever necessary from it in order to apply various functions to the application.

 

the authentication goes like,

 

 

switch(getenv("SERVER_NAME")) {

case "xxx"

 define('FACEBOOK_APP_ID', '');

 define('FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET', '');

 define('HTTP_ROOT', 'http://xxx.facebookapp/');

 define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

 define('DB_USER', 'root');

 define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

 define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxx');

 break;

}

 

 

$facebook = new Facebook(array(

'appId' => FACEBOOK_APP_ID,

'secret' => FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET,

));

 

I need this "$facebook" object in many other files.

Somehow this part will be in an independent file, and other files refer to the object.

 

Is it possible to do it?

Can anyone help me out?

I'm not sure I understand the issue.

 

You have created $facebook within the global namespace so it is available everywhere within that scope.

 

Just include this file where ever you need to.
