I am trying to create an application where the user can browse and submit a photo from their computer onto their facebook. For this, they will first have to upload their photo onto the server and then using a facebook request, post this image onto facebook. I am using multipart/form-data.
This is what I have so far for this, assuming I have a valid session, my api request:
$request = new Facebook{
$session,
'POST',
'/me/photos',
array (
'source' => '{image-data}',
)
);
$response = $request->execute();
$graphObject = $response->getGraphObject();
/* handle the result*/
I am not sure what to replace image-data with.
For the uploading photo, my code is as follows:
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$file_type = $_FILES['file']['type']; //returns the file type
$allowed = array("image/jpeg", "image/gif", "image/png", "image/jpg"); //specifies allowed file types
if(!in_array($file_type, $allowed)) {
$error_message = 'Only jpeg, jpg, gif, and png files are allowed. <br>
Please click back and try again.';
echo $error_message;
exit();
}
$name = $_FILES['file']['name']; //original path of the uploaded file
$temp_name = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name']; //contains the path to the temporary file that resides on the server
if(isset($name)){
if(!empty($name)){
$location = 'uploads/'; //save photo to the folder: uploads
if(move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $location.$name)){
echo 'Photo was successfully uploaded.';
}
}
} else {
echo 'Photo was unsuccessfully uploaded, click back and try again.';
}
}
I am new to facebook api, and a novice at coding. Any help or advice will be much appreciated. Thanks.
