How can the authentication process be streamlined when accessing and displaying Facebook Page events on a website using PHP?

To streamline the authentication process for accessing and displaying Facebook Page events on a website using PHP, you can utilize the Facebook PHP SDK to handle authentication and retrieve the necessary access token. By following the OAuth process and obtaining a user access token with the required permissions, you can then make API requests to fetch the events data from the Facebook Graph API. 

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Include the Facebook PHP SDK

$fb = new Facebook\Facebook([
  'app_id' => 'your_app_id',
  'app_secret' => 'your_app_secret',
  'default_graph_version' => 'v12.0',
]);

$helper = $fb->getRedirectLoginHelper();

$permissions = ['pages_show_list', 'pages_read_engagement']; // Specify required permissions

try {
  $accessToken = $helper->getAccessToken();
} catch(Facebook\Exception\ResponseException $e) {
  // Handle error
} catch(Facebook\Exception\SDKException $e) {
  // Handle error
}

if (isset($accessToken)) {
  $fb->setDefaultAccessToken($accessToken);

  try {
    $response = $fb->get('/{page-id}/events');
    $data = $response->getDecodedBody();
    
    // Display events data on the website
    print_r($data);
  } catch(Facebook\Exception\FacebookResponseException $e) {
    // Handle error
  } catch(Facebook\Exception\FacebookSDKException $e) {
    // Handle error
  }
}
?>
