Login with Microsoft Live OAuth Connect

Few months back Microsoft has launched OAuth system for client websites, using this you can get the valid user details from Hotmail and Outlook database. Earlier I had published Facebook, Google and Twitter OAuth login systems, now this post explains you how to implement Microsoft Live OAuth connect using PHP. Sure this helps your web project to avoid registration email activation.

Login with Microsoft Live OAuth Connect



Download Script
     Live Demo

The tutorial contains one folder called lib with five PHP files.
lib
-- http.php 
-- oauth_client.php //OAuth client library
index.php
home.php
microsoft_login.php // Microsoft login file
db.php
logout.php

microsoft_login.php
You have to modify client_id and client_secret values.
$client->redirect_uri = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].
dirname(strtok($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'?')).'/microsoft_login.php';

$client->client_id = 'Microsoft Client ID';
$client->client_secret = 'Microsoft Client Secret';

home.php
Contains PHP code inserting Microsoft OAuth session details into users table.
<?php
session_start();
include('db.php'); //Database Connection.
if (!isset($_SESSION['userdata'])) {
// Redirection to application home page. 
header("location: index.php");
}
else
{
$userdata=$_SESSION['userdata'];
$name =$userdata->name;
$microsoft_id =$userdata->id;
$first_name =$userdata->first_name;
$last_name =$userdata->last_name;
$gender=$userdata->gender;
$email=$userdata->emails->account;
$email2=$userdata->emails->preferred;
$locale=$userdata->locale;
$birth_day=$userdata->birth_day.'-'.$userdata->birth_month.'-'.$userdata->birth_year;
$sql=mysqli_query($db,"insert into users(full_name,first_name,last_name,email,gender,birthday,provider_id) values("$name","$first_name","$last_name","$email","$gender","$birth_day","$microsoft_id")");
}
?>

db.php
Database configuration file, modify username, password and database values.
<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

    If you got the following error:

    We're unable to complete your request
    Microsoft account is experiencing technical problems. Please try again later

    You shoud login Application Management page (https://account.live.com/developers/applications) and edit Redirect URL that is equal with $client->redirect_uri (in your source code).

    It worked fine for me. Hope this will help you!

  23. Thanks. Microsoft recommend registering and managing converged applications by using the new and improved App registrations experience in the Azure Portal. I tried but it does not work with Azure Portal.
