   Thanks.

4. Dear Steven,

   Thank you for your script. Anyway, I got problem when publishing it on my wall. It just appear post on wall. nothing else. Hope you can help me out.

5. hi Kamarul,
   There are many problems solved here pls check http://blog.theunical.com/facebook-integration/5-steps-to-publish-on-a-facebook-wall-using-php/

6. Kamarul did u followed all the steps?

7. Hi Steven,

   Yes, i followed until step 5 and uploaded into server. But not working.

8. Kamarul, what error you are getting?

9. This really rocks Stephen..you are a genius. Thanks for the script

10. i’ve changed the $target_id to my fan page id, and using this script to post video on my fan page. But getting this error:
    …..’The post’s links must direct to the application’s connect or canvas URL…….

    also I need to actually upload the video, does this same scriot will do by changing the video-src ?

11. I was getting the error: ’The post’s links must direct to the application’s connect or canvas URL

    Then I changed the application settings: edit setting->advanced->Stream post URL security->disabled. Now it is uploading the video but does not show the thumbnail. How to show a thumbnail here?

    OR

    I also tried to upload the video using video_upload function, but it uploads the video on users wall not on fan page wall. How to post it to fan page wall because this function does not seem to take page id as parameter I guess.

    any one solution will help me, both solutions will help many of us.

    Thanks
