You first need to setup an application to get an app_id from the link InsiteFX gave you. Using the app id, you would need to get users to authorize your app to their account. Once they accept the permissions of your app, you are able to use the API to see if they have like your specific page.
jQuery is not really used in any way, as Facebook uses their specific Javascript SDK.
I have this on a Facebook page to create a signup form if a user doesn't like a page yet:
Code:
require 'facebook.php';
// Create our Application instance (replace this with your appId and secret).
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'your_app_id',
'secret' => 'your_app_secret',
'cookie' => true
));
$signed_request = $facebook->getSignedRequest();
var_dump($signed_request);This works for application/page that is accessed on Facebook. If you are trying to handle this data on your own website, without Facebook at all, would likely require using oAuth.

The $signed_request variable from the code above will return a an array with the index $signed_request['pages']['like'] as a boolean value. If true, the user has already liked your page.
