I am trying to experiment with the new facebook authentication system, and I can't getthe login to work.

I'm getting the following error message:


API Error Code: 100

API Error Description: Invalid parameter

Error Message: next is not owned by the application.


The url that is being sent to facebook is:

http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php?app_id=444444444444444&next=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fconnect%2Fxd_proxy.php%23%3F%3D%26cb%3Df357eceb0361a8a%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.mysite.com%252Ff38fea4f9ea573%26relation%3Dopener%26transport%3Dpostmessage%26frame%3Df23b800f8a78%26result%3DxxRESULTTOKENxx&display=popup&channel=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Ffbtester.php&cancel=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fconnect%2Fxd_proxy.php%23%3F%3D%26cb%3Df6095a98598be8%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.mysite.com%252Ff38fea4f9ea573%26relation%3Dopener%26transport%3Dpostmessage%26frame%3Df23b800f8a78%26result%3DxxRESULTTOKENxx&locale=en_US&return_session=1&session_version=3&fbconnect=1&canvas=0&legacy_return=1&method=permissions.request

Note that the 'Next' variable in the url is:

next=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fconnect%2Fxd_proxy.php%23%3F%3D%26cb%3Df357eceb0361a8a%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.mysite.com%252Ff38fea4f9ea573%26relation%3Dopener%26transport%3Dpostmessage%26frame%3Df23b800f8a78%26result%3DxxRESULTTOKENxx


Any ideas what could be going wrong? All I've done is copy and paste the facebook login demo code from facebook's website:


 <?php
define('FACEBOOK_APP_ID', 'your application id');
define('FACEBOOK_SECRET', 'your application secret');

function get_facebook_cookie($app_id, $application_secret) {
  $args = array();
  parse_str(trim($_COOKIE['fbs_' . $app_id], '\\"'), $args);
  ksort($args);
  $payload = '';
  foreach ($args as $key => $value) {
    if ($key != 'sig') {
      $payload .= $key . '=' . $value;
    }
  }
  if (md5($payload . $application_secret) != $args['sig']) {
    return null;
  }
  return $args;
}

$cookie = get_facebook_cookie(FACEBOOK_APP_ID, FACEBOOK_SECRET);

?>

      Your user ID is <?= $cookie['uid'] ?>
    <?php } else { ?>
      <fb:login-button></fb:login-button>
    <?php } ?>

    <div id="fb-root"></div>
    <script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
    <script>
      FB.init({appId: '<?= FACEBOOK_APP_ID ?>', status: true,
               cookie: true, xfbml: true});
      FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response) {
        window.location.reload();
      });
    </script>
  </body>
 </html>

Thanks for the help!
