Facebook Login and MySQL

Question

When I use Facebook Login (JavaScript) on my website, I receive the user id from Facebook in the browser.

Secondly I want to fetch some data from the database using said user id.

SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE user_id = 123400000001;

How can I pass the id to PHP without the user being able to alter the id?

What format do you receive the user id in? i.e. is it a cookie, is it JSON...etc.? — James, Mar 20 '18 at 10:10

Apart from user ID, you also receive an access token, which you can pass to your backend and use for the verification of the user (using this method, for instance).
