How to upload a video to Facebook event page via PHP - php

Question

I have created an event on my test page and I'm going to upload a video to that event page from my web site. I have used the below code but it is doesn't work.
$data = [
'title' => 'test Video',
'description' => 'This is test video',
'source' => $fb->videoToUpload($video_path),
];
try {
$response = $fb->post('/' . $event_id . '/videos', $data, $page_token);
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
return 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e){
return 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode();
I got this error.
Graph returned an error:(#33) This object does not exist or does not support this action.
So I fix some parts like this.
$data = [
.......
'source' => $video_path
];
try{
$response = $fb->post('/' . $event_id . '/feed', $data, $page_token);
}
.......
Then it works like this.
But I want to result like as this picture.
How shall I do?

Official reference for post video on event (Api Graph v5.0):
Upload:
$fb = new Facebook\Facebook([
'app_id' => '{app-id}',
'app_secret' => '{app-secret}',
'default_graph_version' => 'v2.2',
]);
$data = [
'title' => 'My Foo Video',
'description' => 'This video is full of foo and bar action.',
'source' => $fb->videoToUpload('/path/to/foo_bar.mp4'),
];
try {
$response = $fb->post('/me/videos', $data, 'user-access-token');
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
// When Graph returns an error
echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
// When validation fails or other local issues
echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode();
var_dump($graphNode);
echo 'Video ID: ' . $graphNode['id'];
POST ON EVENT:
/* PHP SDK v5.0.0 */
/* make the API call */
try {
// Returns a `Facebook\FacebookResponse` object
$response = $fb->get(
'/{event-id}/videos',
'{access-token}'
);
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode();
/* handle the result */
If you see the result JSON :
{
"data": [],
"paging": {}
}
All reference:
-Start - Initialize an upload session
-Transfer - Upload video chunks
-Finish - Post the video
In the function:
private function postFBVideo($authResponse, $fileObj, $formData)
{
FacebookSession::setDefaultApplication('yourAppkey', 'yourAppSecret');
$ajaxResponse = '';
try {
$session = new FacebookSession($authResponse->accessToken);
} catch (FacebookRequestException $ex) {
// When Facebook returns an error
$ajaxResponse = 'FB Error ->' . json_encode($ex) ;
} catch (\Exception $ex) {
// When validation fails or other local issues
$ajaxResponse = 'FB Validation Error - ' . json_encode($ex) ;
}
if ($session) {
$response = (new FacebookRequest(
$session, 'POST', '/.$idevent./videos', array(
'source' => new CURLFile('path', 'video/MOV'),
'message' => $formDataMessage,
)
))->execute();
$ajaxResponse = $response->getGraphObject();
}
return json_encode($ajaxResponse);
}
