Web Chat with Facebook Integration - php

Question

I need your help guys, I'm building my own web chat for my online radio site. I already have a AJAX PHP Web chat from Tutorialzine. I want to modify it. But i don't know where to start. I want it to integrate with Facebook. I want it instead of asking for username and email, there will be a button that says 'Connect to Facebook'. and the Profile Picture and Name of the user will automatically saved to the database. I really need it. And i want it to be moderated. Thank You! and God bless everyone! :)

If you only want to connect with facebook for the user name and picture then all you need to do is include the Facebook Javascript SDK, and then either use the Login Button plugin or use the Client-Side authentication.
If you want to connect with the Facebook internal chat, then you can use the Chat API which has two authentication methods: Facebook Platform and Username/Password.
If you want the first method (sounds like what you want) then you'll need to authenticate the user, either with the client side flow or the server side flow and ask for the "xmpp_login" permission.
There are php examples in the chat API documentation.
