Hey everyone,
Im new to using canvas, and JS canvas Library.
Im trying to connect an app coded in PHP to my salesforce org and canvas.
For that im trying to use some JS code in my php.
What I need is getting Salesforce Session ID using Salesforce JS canvas methods. Problem is : i have no clue how to do it, I've been looking all over the web and found no solution.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance :)

When you develop a php canvas app configured to receive a signed request, your php app will automatically receive the context through a POST request. The context is base64 encoded after the first "." received.
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') { echo '<script>var b64="'.$_POST["signed_request"].'";</script>';}
This will prepare a javascript variable on client side, encoded in base64.
You need to split it : var req=b64.split('.');
Then you can display all the context : JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(atob(req[1])), null, 2)
This will give you something like this :
{
"algorithm": "HMACSHA256",
"issuedAt": -278859987,
"userId": "005A0000001GFfwIBG",
"client": {
"refreshToken": null,
"instanceId": "09HG0000000BvoT:",
"targetOrigin": "https://domain-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com",
"instanceUrl": "https://domain-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com",
"oauthToken": "00DA00000008kmi!AR0AQKKFGPkHWrywriXvfGLVRHZ5gOB4jQzeIXNI_psq4s6XUWOISypXXfifTHGFb2CoNa.16GPavGHNbW0iW9_sK3pYxv8o"
},
"context": {
"user": {
"userId": "005A00
The oauthToken entry is your session id
All of this did not require any library
