Step 1 - Create a config file

<?php

//config.php
define('APP_ID','YOUR_APP_ID');
define('APP_SECRET','YOUR_APP_SECRET');
define('APP_CALLBACK','http://localhost/fbv2/callback.php');
define('SDK_VERSION','v2.9');
define('API_HOST','https://graph.facebook.com/');
?>

Step 2 - Login

<?php
//login.php
require_once 'Facebook/autoload.php'; //From Facebook SDK
require_once 'config.php';

$fb = new Facebook\Facebook(['app_id' => APP_ID,  'app_secret' => APP_SECRET,

'default_graph_version' => SDK_VERSION]);

$helper = $fb->getRedirectLoginHelper();

$permissions = ['email','ads_read','ads_management','read_insights',

'read_audience_network_insights']; // Optional permissions
$loginUrl = $helper->getLoginUrl(APP_CALLBACK, $permissions);

?>

Step 3- Callback.php

<?php
session_start();
require_once 'Facebook/autoload.php';
require_once 'config.php';

$fb = new Facebook\Facebook(['app_id' => APP_ID,'app_secret' => APP_SECRET,

'default_graph_version' => SDK_VERSION]);

$helper = $fb->getRedirectLoginHelper();
  $_SESSION['FBRLH_state']=$_GET['state'];


try 
{
  $accessToken = $helper->getAccessToken();
} 
catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
  
  echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) 
{
  // When validation fails or other local issues
  echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
}

if (! isset($accessToken)) {
  if ($helper->getError()) {
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo "Error: " . $helper->getError() . "\n";
    echo "Error Code: " . $helper->getErrorCode() . "\n";
    echo "Error Reason: " . $helper->getErrorReason() . "\n";
    echo "Error Description: " . $helper->getErrorDescription() . "\n";
  } else {
    header('HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request');
    echo 'Bad request';
  }
  exit;
}

// Logged in
echo '<h3>Access Token</h3>';
var_dump($accessToken->getValue());

$oAuth2Client = $fb->getOAuth2Client();

$tokenMetadata = $oAuth2Client->debugToken($accessToken);
echo '<h3>Metadata</h3>';
var_dump($tokenMetadata);

$tokenMetadata->validateAppId(APP_ID); // Replace {app-id} with your app id

$tokenMetadata->validateExpiration();

if (! $accessToken->isLongLived()) 
{
  try {
    $accessToken = $oAuth2Client->getLongLivedAccessToken($accessToken);
  } catch (Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
    echo "<p>Error getting long-lived access token:".$helper->getMessage()."</p>\n\n";
    exit;
  }

  echo '<h3>Long-lived</h3>';
  var_dump($accessToken->getValue());
}

$_SESSION['fb_access_token'] = (string) $accessToken;



//User Details


$me=API_HOST."/me";
$params=array("access_token"=>$_SESSION['fb_access_token'] ,"fields"=>"id,name");

$returnMe=(String) httpGet($me,$params);
$returnMe=json_decode($returnMe);

$_SESSION['username'] = $returnMe->name;
$_SESSION['userid'] = $returnMe->id;

header("Location:details.php");
?>

Final step , create detail.php for the details

<?php
session_start();
require_once "config.php";
$user=$_SESSION['username'];

$url="https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/me/adaccounts";

$params=array("access_token"=>$_SESSION['fb_access_token'],

"fields"=>"name,id,status,account_id,summary,total_count");

$json=(String) httpGet($url,$params);
$respo=json_decode($json);

function httpGet($url,$params)
{
   $postData = '';
   //create name value pairs seperated by &
   foreach($params as $k => $v) 
   { 
      $postData .= $k . '='.$v.'&'; 
   }
   $postData = rtrim($postData, '&');
 
 
   $curl = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
  
    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
    CURLOPT_URL => $url."?".$postData,
    CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Codular Sample cURL Request'
));

$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
 
 return $resp;
 
}


?>
