About

It's always nice to test a Facebook App your working on from complete scratch. This script will allow you to easily create test Facebook accounts for your applications.

For more information, please see the Facebook Official Documentation:

How to use

Easy Way:

1. Download files

2. Upload to server

3. Change includes/facebook.php APP_ID and APP_SECRET to your application

    <?php
   
    class Facebook {
   
    	protected $app_id 		= 'YOUR_APP_ID'; // Your Facebook App ID
    	protected $app_secret 	= 'YOUR_APP_SECRET'; // Your Facebook App Secret
    
    	...
   

Slightly Less Easy Way:

1. Include Facebook.php in your script

2. Initiate the Facebook class

3. Call the get_test_account($name) function

    <?php
   
    include 'includes/facebook.php';
    
    $facebook = new facebook(array('app_id' => 'YOUR_APP_ID', 'app_secret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET'));
    
    $name = 'Wally West';
    
    $test_account = $facebook->get_test_account($name);
