    if its a local URL then it will not work.
    try with some public URL.

  3. Hi,
    One question , i am posting 3 pictures to the wall, sometimes only one picture is loaded in to the wall and there is coming the “cross” image is coming for the next two images. But when checking after 20-30 min all the 3 images are loaded in the wall. When i check the source of this html code, i found the image thumbs are there, but the images are not loaded in facebook. what is the reason behind this? Why facebook not loaded all the pictures instantly. I am using your code but not submit a description for the images.

  14. Hi.

    My facebook application has an HTML table as the output. Some of its cells have images and others have text elements. Basically, the table is dynamically created using the user profile information. Now I want to publish the same output on the user’s wall. How do I achieve this?
    Thanks.

    Below it is just a script to ask permissions to the visitors to acess to its information

    FB_APP_ID,
    ‘secret’ => FB_SECRET_ID,
    ‘cookie’ => true,
    ));

    // On rĂ©cupère la session Facebook de l’utilisateur
    $session = $fb->getSession();

    $me = null;

    // On teste si la session existe
    if ($session) {

    try {

    // On teste si l’utilisateur est en session
    if (isset($_SESSION[‘user’]) && isset($_SESSION[‘uid’])) {
    // On rĂ©cupère les donnĂ©es en session: Gain en perf: Ă©conomie d’appel Ă  l’API
    $me = $_SESSION[‘user’];
    $uid = $_SESSION[‘uid’];
    $user_id = $_SESSION[‘user_id’]; // ID du membre en BDD
    }
    else {
    // On rĂ©cupère l’UID de l’utilisateur Facebook courant
    $uid = $fb->getUser();
    // On rĂ©cupère les infos de base de l’utilisateur
    $me = $fb->api(‘/me’);

    // On stock les infos de l’utilisateur en session: Pseudo cache
    $_SESSION[‘uid’] = $uid;
    $_SESSION[‘user’] = $me;

    // Session n’existe pas, on INSERT/MAJ les infos de l’user
    $query = “INSERT INTO user SET uid = ‘”.$uid.”‘, lastname='”.mysql_real_escape_string($me[‘last_name’]).”‘, firstname='”.mysql_real_escape_string($me[‘first_name’]).”‘, created_at = NOW(), last_login=NOW() ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE last_login = NOW()”;
    $res = mysql_query($query);

    $user_id = mysql_insert_id();
    $_SESSION[‘user_id’] = $user_id;
    }
    }catch (FacebookApiException $e) {

    // S’il y’a un problème lors de la rĂ©cup, perte de session entre temps, suppression des autorisations…

    // On rĂ©cupère l’URL sur laquelle on devra rediriger l’utilisateur pour le rĂ©identifier sur l’application
    $loginUrl = $fb->getLoginUrl(
    array(
    ‘canvas’ => 1,
    ‘fbconnect’ => 0
    )
    );
    // On le redirige en JS (header PHP pas possible)
    echo “top.location.href = ‘”.$loginUrl.”‘;”;
    exit();
    }

    }
    else {
    // Si l’utilisateur n’a pas de session

    // On rĂ©cupère l’URL sur laquelle on devra rediriger l’utilisateur pour le rĂ©identifier sur l’application
    $loginUrl = $fb->getLoginUrl(
    array(
    ‘canvas’ => 1,
    ‘fbconnect’ => 0,
    ‘req_perms’ => ‘publish_stream’
    )
    );
