publishing an Photo

In order to publish a photo to a user’s album, you must have the publish_stream permission. With that granted, you can upload a photo by issuing an HTTP POST request with the photo content and an optional description to one these to Graph API connections:

· https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/photos - The photo will be published to an album created for your app. We automatically create an album for your app if it does not already exist. All photos uploaded this way will then be added to this same album.

· https://graph.facebook.com/ALBUM_ID/photos - The photo will be published to a specific, existing photo album, represented by the ALBUM_ID.

Sample code will be provided for the corresponding two scenarios:

1. Uploading a photo to your app’s album.

2. Creating a new album and uploading a photo to the album you create.

Scenario 1: Uploading a photo to the app’s album

This is the scenario where you upload a photo to the USER_ID/photos Graph API endpoint. The user interface for this example allows the user to select a photo and add a caption before submitting the new photo. The newly created photo ID is returned to the user.

Using PHP:

<?php
       $app_id = "YOUR_APP_ID";
       $app_secret = "YOUR_APP_SECRET";
       $post_login_url = "YOUR_POST_LOGIN_URL";
    
       $code = $_REQUEST["code"];

       //Obtain the access_token with publish_stream permission 
       if(empty($code)){ 
          $dialog_url= "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?"
           . "client_id=" .  $app_id 
           . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode( $post_login_url)
           .  "&scope=publish_stream";
          echo("<script>top.location.href='" . $dialog_url 
          . "'</script>");
         }
        else {
          $token_url="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?"
           . "client_id=" . $app_id 
     . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode( $post_login_url)
           . "&client_secret=" . $app_secret
           . "&code=" . $code;
          $response = file_get_contents($token_url);
          $params = null;
          parse_str($response, $params);
          $access_token = $params['access_token'];

         // Show photo upload form to user and post to the Graph URL
         $graph_url= "https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos?"
         . "access_token=" .$access_token;

         echo '<html><body>';
         echo '<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="'
         .$graph_url .' "method="POST">';
         echo 'Please choose a photo: ';
         echo '<input name="source" type="file"><br/><br/>';
         echo 'Say something about this photo: ';
         echo '<input name="message" 
             type="text" value=""><br/><br/>';
         echo '<input type="submit" value="Upload"/><br/>';
         echo '</form>';
         echo '</body></html>';
      }
?>
