Login with Microsoft Live Account PHP

How to Login with Microsoft Live Account PHP



This post explains you how to implement login Microsoft Live account using PHP.

For login ,  we need  Client Secret Key and Client ID . Click Here To create Microsoft application that will provide client id and password.

Open the above url and fill "app name" and "redirect url" .

Application id is your client ID and application secret is client secret key.

Our api is created successfully.

Now we need to create 2 php pages one for login and second one for receive user data as response from microsoft app.

First create a link on your login page , that will redirect to user on our microsoft login page(mslogin).
<a href="mslogin.php">Login with Microsoft</a>


Then create a page mslogin.php and paste below code

mslogin.php

<?php
$client_id = "YOUR-CLIENT-ID";
$redirect_uri = "https://your-site.com/response.php"; //you can also use localhost url for testing but first add url into microsoft app redirect url then you can use localhost url
 $urls = 'https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id='.$client_id.'&scope=wl.signin%20wl.basic%20wl.emails%20wl.contacts_emails&response_type=code&redirect_uri='.$redirect_uri;
  header("Location: " .$urls);
?>

Now when user click on that link then he will redirect to microsoft login page and after login through microsoft he will redirect to our response url . we already saved redirect url into our app.

Now create response.php

<?php
   if(isset($_GET['code']) && $_GET['code']!="") {
    $auth_code = $_GET["code"];
    $client_id = "YOUR-CLIENT-ID";
    $client_secret = "Your-API-PASSWORD";
    $redirect_uri = "https://your-site.com/response.php"; 

    $fields=array(
        'code'=>  urlencode($auth_code),
        'client_id'=>  urlencode($client_id),
        'client_secret'=>  urlencode($client_secret),
        'redirect_uri'=>  urlencode($redirect_uri),
        'grant_type'=>  urlencode('authorization_code')
    );

    $post = '';
    foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $post .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
    $post = rtrim($post,'&');
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_URL,'https://login.live.com/oauth20_token.srf');
    curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POST,5);
    curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,TRUE);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0);
    $result = curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    $response =  json_decode($result);
    $accesstoken = $response->access_token;
    $get_profile_url='https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me?access_token='.$accesstoken;
    $xmlprofile_res=curl_file_get_contents($get_profile_url);
    $profile_res = json_decode($xmlprofile_res, true);

    if($profile_res) {
        echo "<pre>"; print_r($profile_res); echo "</pre>"; //this will print output of user info
        $userid = $profile_res['id'];
        $login_name = $profile_res['name'];
        $fname = $profile_res['first_name'];
        $lname = $profile_res['last_name'];
        $email = $profile_res['emails']['account'];
    }    
  } 
?> 

Now run your mslogin.php and try to login with microsoft live ID. oh it works great.  :)
