Hi ! This article was very usefull and with enough details so i now understand the process between facebook and a web site. However, i'm trying to have the same kind of process (linking a user on my site with their facebook acount, the same way as you do it on welovelocal.com) but i can't manage the last part.

I have my user session_id which i save on the database on my side. BUT, when i want to write something in the user's news, i always get stucked with a "Session key invalid or no longer valid". How's that ?

The session key i retreived was the correct one (expire = 0) and everything seems as you described it...

Can you help me on this ?

Thanks !

I managed to figure out why it wasn't working... in your two examples with setFBML and publishActionOfUser, you used a variable named "session_id" instead of "session_key".

By changing it to session_key, it's now working very well !

Thanks !

HELP!!! I'm keep getting this error "Call to undefined function: http_build_query()". Can someone please advise on what I'm doing wrong?

I'm looking for the php or fbml code to post a message to a single user's mini feed - I already have their User ID and of course the message to send - just can't seem to find a good example of it:

e.g.

Msgtosend="Hello from" & currentloggedinuser
IDtosendto="123456789"
SENDTOFACEBOOKCOMMAND(IDtoSendto, Msgtosend)

any help would be great

Hey. Good article. I was reading it and then saw that it was written by David Mytton. You're the fella I know who founded Olate, right? Small world. I needed some help on the profile box integration. Thanks for the handy class. :)
