Facebook PHP SDK 5.0 Tutorial
As a guy who prefers to use modern stuff like Node.js instead of crappy old PHP, I´m not really a fan of the Facebook PHP SDK. But sometimes you just need to use it – so here´s a basic tutorial for the current Facebook PHP SDK, they bumped it up a major version so i had to try it.

I spare you the details of creating an app, this is just the authorization code for the PHP SDK:
1 2 3 | $facebook->getLoginUrl(array('scope' => 'user_events')) |
Facebook API – Guest List of Facebook Events
