Using cURL API to set session user after login.

Hello everyone,

I'm having some slight confusion on the use of a wrapper for cURL. I'm trying to create my own web app after the tutorial and I'm having problems with user data. So I can pull my information when I ask for it directly. <?php require DIR . '\vendor\autoload.php'; $api = new Milo\Github\Api;

$url = 'https://api.github.com/users/digitalvillainy'; $response = $api->get($url); $user = $api->decode($response); $display = '<img class="profileIcon" src="' . $user->avatar_url . '" />';

However what I would like is that after the oAuth authentication the user name is stored and then I can pass it to another part of my code so I can then start pulling that info from GitHub. There's something that's just not clicking. Here is my Authenticate.php file as well, minus client id and client secret. Thanks for any help in advanced.

<?php require_once DIR . '/vendor/autoload.php'; session_start();

$appUrl = 'http://port-80-nknab9ej1d.treehouse-app.com';

$config = new Milo\Github\OAuth\Configuration($clientId, $clientSecret, ['user', 'repo', 'commit']); $storage = new Milo\Github\Storages\SessionStorage; $login = new Milo\Github\OAuth\Login($config, $storage); $api = new Milo\Github\Api;

if ($login->hasToken()){ $token = $login->getToken(); $api->setToken($token); } else { if (isset($_GET['redirect'])){ $login->obtainToken($_GET['code'], $_GET['state']); header("Location: " . filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'redirect')); exit(); } else { $login->askPermissions("$appUrl/inc/authenticate.php?redirect=" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); } }
