I have no Facebook API experience, but I plan to add "Facebook Connect" in one of my sites.

I do not want to use Javascript based login that Connect has by default.
  • Is Javascript required for Facebook integration?
  • Isn't it possible to implement it with PHP scripting?

I think you might want to contact the people who run Facebook and 1st make sure what you are going to do is ok with them. 2nd if they give you the ok...they can probably tell you how to do it.

I got this answer from a Facebook admin:

Quote:
There are a number of ways to authenticate. In general, you can still use the same methods as normal applications, as explained here: Authorizing Applications - Facebook Developers Wiki

Note, however, that for a large portion of the new Connect functionality, such as the JS lightboxes and XFBML, that you obviously won't be able to take advantage of this without using the JS client library.
So it is possible to 'Connect' using PHP and add AJAX support on top of it.
