Not able to fetch contacts from yahoo api - yahoo-api

I've included yahoo API to read user's yahoo contacts. However it's not fetching any data.
Please have a look at my code:
session_start();
include_once 'config.php'; //This file contains consumer key & all data
require_once ('Yahoo.inc'); //This is a standard Yahoo file, just copied it
$session = YahooSession::requireSession($consumer_key,$consumer_secret,$app_id);
if (is_object($session))
{
$user = $session->getSessionedUser(); //This is NOT NULL
$profile = $user->getProfile(); //This is NULL
$name = $profile->givenNme;
$guid = $profile->guid;
$contacts=$user->getContacts()->contacts; //This is NULL
if($contacts==NULL){
echo "No contacts";
}
}
Somehow getProfile() & getContacts() are not working at all, anyone can help spot the mistake?

Please check this thread: yahoo oauth $user->getProfile(); returns null. It solves the problem. You need to switch over to the new API. Otherwise, you may experience this kind of problems.

Exchanging Facebook Auth Code for Access Token using the PHP SDK

I am trying to build a server-to-server auth flow using the Facebook PHP SDK and no Javascript, as outlined here. So far, I have successfully created a LoginUrl that lets the User sign in with Facebook, then redirect back to my App and check the state parameter for CSFR protection.
My Problem is, that I can't seem to get the API-call working that should swap my Auth Code for an access token. I pillaged every similar problem anyone else that Google was able to find had encountered for possible solutions.
Yet the end result was always the same: no access token, no error message that I could evaluate.
Researching the topic yielded the following advice, which I tested:
The URL specified in the App Settings must be a parent folder of $appUrl.
use curl to make the request instead of the SDK function api()
I've been at this for 2 days straight now and really could use some help.
<?php
require '../inc/php-sdk/src/facebook.php';
// Setting some config vars
$appId = 'MY_APP_ID';
$secret = 'MY_APP_SECRET';
$appUrl = 'https://MY_DOMAIN/appFolder';
$fbconfig = array('appId'=>$appId, 'secret'=>$secret);
$facebook = new Facebook($fbconfig);
// Log User in with Facebook and come back with Auth Code if not yet done
if(!(isset($_SESSION['login']))){
$_SESSION['login']=1;
header('Location: '.$facebook->getLoginUrl());
}
// process Callback from Facebook User Login
if($_SESSION['login']===1) {
/* CSFR Protection: getLoginUrl() generates a state string and stores it
in "$_SESSION['fb_'.$fbconfig['appId'].'_state']". This checks if it matches the state
obtained via $_GET['state']*/
if (isset($_SESSION['fb_'.$fbconfig['appId'].'_state'])&&isset($_GET['state'])){
// Good Case
if ($_SESSION['fb_'.$fbconfig['appId'].'_state']===$_GET['state']) {
$_SESSION['login']=2;
}
else {
unset($_SESSION['login']);
echo 'You may be a victim of CSFR Attacks. Try logging in again.';
}
}
}
// State check O.K., swap Code for Token now
if($_SESSION['login']===2) {
$path = '/oauth/access_token';
$api_params = array (
'client_id'=>$appId,
'redirect_uri'=>$appUrl,
'client_secret'=>$secret,
'code'=>$_GET['code']
);
$access_token = $facebook->api($path, 'GET', $api_params);
var_dump($access_token);
}
The easiest way I found to do this is to extend the Facebook class and expose the protected getAccessTokenFromCode() method:
<?php
class MyFacebook extends Facebook {
/** If you simply want to get the token, use this method */
public function getAccessTokenFromCode($code, $redirectUri = null)
{
return parent::getAccessTokenFromCode($code, $redirectUri);
}
/** If you would like to get and set (and extend), use this method instead */
public function setAccessTokenFromCode($code)
{
$token = parent::getAccessTokenFromCode($code);
if (empty($token)) {
return false;
}
$this->setAccessToken($token);
if (!$this->setExtendedAccessToken()) {
return false;
}
return $this->getAccessToken();
}
}
I also included a variation on the convenience method I use to set the access token, since I don't actually need a public "get" method in my own code.

How to check if email exists with MYSQLi

I'm 11 and I'm making a chat site for me and my friends. I'm using MYSQLi to handle the database things, and I'm kinda new to it. I always used normal mysql.
Oh! And if you can share a link to a mysqli tutorial, it would be great :)
Well here's my config file
<?PHP
define("HOST", "localhost"); define("USER", "root"); define("PASSWORD", "****"); define("DATABASE", "secure_login");
$mysqli = new mysqli(HOST, USER, PASSWORD, DATABASE);
?>
The database is secure_login, then I have a table called members, and then a column named email in that table.
I included this to a file (register.php) where I have to check if the email exists or not. And if it exists, redirect to home.
If you guys can help me it would be cool!!! I hope to finish this soon :)
I'd start with reading the MySQLi documentation at http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php, in specific the methods related to the class. If you are in need of a tutorial I would suggest to search on Google, there are loads of tutorials on the web.
As for your question, something like this should work:
$query = "SELECT email FROM members WHERE USER = ? AND PASS = ?";
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)){
// Bind the parameters, these are the ?'s in the query.
$stmt->bind_param("ss", $username, sha1($password));
// Execute the statement
if($stmt->execute()){
// get the results from the executed query
$stmt->store_result();
$email_res= "";
// This stores the value of the emailaddres inside $email_res
$stmt->bind_result($email_res);
$stmt->fetch();
// There is a result
if ($stmt->num_rows == 1){
// Validate the emailadres here, check the PHP function filter_var()
}
else {
// Not a valid email
}
}
else {
printf("Execute error: %s", $stmt->error);
}
}
else {
printf("Prepared Statement Error: %s\n", $mysqli->error);
}
}
I hope this helps

cakephp facebook api, FB->api('/me') returns empty value

I use Webtechnick Facebook plugin for cakephp 1.3 website. I implemented it about a year ago. And it worked fine until now. But today I found out that when I try to login(as a new user) it does not save facebook user data, because $this->Connect->user() (which result is taken from $this->FB->api('/me'), /plugins/facebook/controller/components/connect.php, line 194) returns nothing. I tried also, this facebook plugin on another cakephp 2.0 website, but the same thing was there.
I think, that there was some change in facebook api, because I did not absolutely make any change on the website, which could bring to that result.
this is user function in connect.php component
function user($field = null){
if(isset($this->uid)){
$this->uid = $this->uid;
if($this->Controller->Session->read('FB.Me') == null){
$this->Controller->Session->write('FB.Me', $this->FB->api('/me'));
}
$this->me = $this->Controller->Session->read('FB.Me');
}
else {
$this->Controller->Session->delete('FB');
}
if(!$this->me){
return null;
}
if($field){
$retval = Set::extract("/$field", $this->me);
return empty($retval) ? null : $retval[0];
}
return $this->me;
}
and my beforeFacebookSave() function in app_controller
public function beforeFacebookSave() {
$fbUser = $this->Connect->user ();
//debug($fbUser); // outputs nothing
$this->Connect->authUser ['User'] ['email'] = $fbUser ['email'];
$this->Connect->authUser ['User'] ['first_name'] = $fbUser ['first_name'];
$this->Connect->authUser ['User'] ['last_name'] = $fbUser ['last_name'];
return true;
}
Thank you !
There was a certificate change on Facebook that wasn't reflected in the SDK (because it used the old certificate). Since the plugin is based on PHP SDK, you should just fetch the latest version of the repo https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin. The author has pushed the commit to include the new PHP SDK with the new certificate.
https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin/tree/master/Vendor
Your error log should have a Facebook Exception due to SSL problems which chokes the API calls causing /me to return empty.
try this, it work for me
$infos = $facebook->api('/me?fields=id,first_name,last_name,picture,email');

Zend_Auth not working

In my model, "Users", I have the following authorization after validating the username/password
$db = Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter();
$authAdapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable($db,'users','username','password');
$authAdapter->setIdentity($username);
$authAdapter->setCredential(md5($password));
$auth_result = $authAdapter->authenticate();
if( $auth_result->isValid() )
{
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
$storage = $auth->getStorage();
$storage->write($authAdapter->getResultRowObject(array('id','username')));
return 'logged_in';
}
return 'auth_failed';
it keeps returning 'auth_failed'. I had the code running on a localhost, and everything works fine, but when I upload it online, it fails to authorize the user. What is going on?
Thanks
I can't tell what's wrong without checkin the logs, so perhaps you might want to use the method I use for storing auth data. Basically you validate manually and set the storageThis doesn't solve the problem, but its impossible to do so without accessing your code.
function login($userNameSupplied,$passwordSupplied){
$table= new Application_Model_Dbtable_Users();//Or Whatever Table you're using
$row=$table->fetchRow($table->select()->where('username=?',$userNameSupplied)->where('password=?',md5($passwordSupplied));
if($row){
Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getStorage()->write($row->toArray());
return 'logged_in';
}
else{return 'failed';}
}
//To check if the user is logged in, use
$userInfo=Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getStorage()->read();
if($userInfo)//user is logged in

Joomla JUser getinstance Questions

I am attempting to make an authentication plugin. JUser::getInstance() takes one input, and it is supposed to be the id. Is there any way to get an instance of a User using some other indentifier? such as username, email etc.
Probably there isnt any such method. But yes if you are sure that username or email are unique then you can modify your file user.php in libraries/joomla/user/ and add a method there.
getInstanceByEmail($email)
{
$query = "select id from jos_users where email=".email;
// use the code to get the id;
return getInstance($id);
} // this is just a sample code of how it can be achieved
Since Joomla's own authentication is done by checking the user's username (and password of course), it has to be unique. And yes you can do something like what #Rixius suggested.
Here's my version:
// Get a database object
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('id, password');
$query->from('#__users');
$query->where('username=' . $db->Quote($credentials['username']));
$db->setQuery($query);
$result = $db->loadObject();
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if ($result)
{
$user = JUser::getInstance($result->id);
}
