Following is the code that works fine if I am passing /pageid/feed
to facebook->api
, but when I change it to upload the image directly to my Facebook photo album, it will not work. Kindly let me know what I am doing wrong in the following code:
// Works fine
$status = $facebook->api("/194458563914948/feed", 'post', $attachment);
// Does not work
$status = $facebook->api("/196878530339618/photos", 'post', $attachment);

The path you are using /406221796071956/photos is wrong and that's why it does not work.
The reason that this path is wrong, is that 406221796071956 is the id of a picture, see for yourself, the Graph API Explorer for 406221796071956 says:
If you want to publish to that album then use /196878530339618/photos, since it's the album: Graph API Explorer for 196878530339618
Edit
Please refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/album/#photos for adding photos to an album.
2nd Edit
According to the documentation of the Album object:
So you need the album not to be full, to be the owner of the album and have the right permissions for uploading.
