Getting Started
So, let’s get started with your first Facebook application written with CodeIgniter. By the end of it, you’ll have everything you need to create a Facebook application.
1. Download CodeIgnier Framework and Install it. if you install currently , You should see the generic message, “Welcome to CodeIgniter!” If you don’t, you’ve missed something along the way. Reinstall CodeIgniter and start over.
2. Go to Facebook.com/developers and set up a new application.
3. now download Codeigniter Facebook SDK library, to download click here
4.copy and place config and library directory in your ci app.
How do I use it?
You can load the facebook sdk like other libraries in Codeigniter , but you need to set config values in config/facebook.php , Enter your app ID and secret code there.

HI
I tried this one but only i got name and id
But how to get email and other information
Please reply me
To fetch email address you must have the permission to access it. To request permissions, add email to the scope as shown below –
$facebook->getLoginUrl(array(‘scope’ => ’email,read_stream’));
Hi I’ve tried that but it comes with an FB error:
Invalid Scopes: read_stream. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present.
