What potential issues can arise when using a Facebook Share button in a PHP script for a login-protected webpage?

One potential issue that can arise when using a Facebook Share button in a PHP script for a login-protected webpage is that the share button may not work for users who are not logged in to Facebook. This is because the Facebook API requires authentication to share content. To solve this issue, you can check if the user is logged in to Facebook before displaying the share button, and prompt them to log in if they are not. 

<?php
// Check if user is logged in to Facebook
if(isset($_SESSION['facebook_access_token'])) {
    // Display Facebook Share button
    echo '<a href="#" onclick="shareOnFacebook()">Share on Facebook</a>';
} else {
    // Prompt user to log in to Facebook
    echo '<a href="https://www.facebook.com/login.php">Log in to Facebook to share</a>';
}
?>
