Oauth access token into database

Lemos , I have some doubts in using some functions which i think it may help me.


like

GetUserSession($user, &$oauth_session)

GetOAuthSession($session, $server, &$oauth_session)


is the paramerter &$oauth_session mandatory for calling the function , ?? since i don have a $session , when using offline .

can u help he with these ....

i am getting error when using MYSQL ...
how to use sqli using query() , i am still new to this sqli ,, cant figure out.

Justin and lemos

where can check for user exist already and fetch his data here ....

in this part of code


# START THE CALL
if(($success = $client->Initialize()))
{


if(($success = $client->Process()))
{
if(strlen($client->authorization_error))
{
$client->error = $client->authorization_error;
$success = false;
}
elseif(strlen($client->access_token))
{
if($data['method'] === 'POST' || $data['method'] === 'PUT') {
if(!array_key_exists('RequestContentType', $data)) {
$data['options']['RequestContentType'] = 'application/json';
}
}
$success = $client->CallAPI($urlToCall, $method, $params, $options, $call);
if($success)
$success = $client->SetUser($userId); # <<< HERE IS WHERE THE DATABASE WILL BE SET.
}
}
$success = $client->Finalize($success);
}

To obtain a token first, you need to have a page for that.

Then for accessing the API offline, it is a script that may be run from the command line with PHP CLI as the user no longer needs to be present.

If you are using the mysqli_oauth_client class, you should not be accessing those functions. Those are used only internally.

As explained above, you need to query your own users database table to check if the user exists.

The OAuth classes do not do that for you because your database users table can be in many ways. It could be called users or something else, it may have fields with any names you like, so it is up to you to do the integration.

CAn u tell me waht is the function this line

if($client->exit)
exit;

??? beacuse when i am using in my inappbrowser .... i get my app closed and gets crashed when i click done button..


is there a possiblity to close the window as soon as the login is successful and pass the success value from browser to my app which is a phonegap app using javscript and html5 ????

how to pass a dynamic value before sending for a linkedin authorisation


can i use $client->myvariable = user_id_from app


is this correct will this be store for further use i-e after logging in

i am just able to insert static id , unable to insert dynamically because the browser forgets it.

As for storing, I suggest using a different table to store that data. Create a new table for "users" and have a field, "beforeSessionClose" or something.

Not the most secure option, you could try cookies, a flat database file perhaps, something of that nature so you don't rely on the browser as much.

As for 'closing' the app 'after' logging in, that would be based off of Javascript, seeing as it is a mobile app browser, at least that would be my suggestion.

In the first step of OAuth authorization, the class redirects the user to the OAuth server page. So you should not output anything to the browser. That is why it is exiting the script.

In general you should perform the authorize the users in the same window of your login button.

Some sites try to open an new window but that is a bad idea because many times browsers are configured to block popup windows, and the users do not understand why nothing appears.

I think you can pass the variable value in the redirect_uri URL that you pass to the class.
