You have to upload your photos first, then you will get photo id. After that you have to create post with all photo ids. It may be helpful for you. Example code:
$images = []; // say your all images is in array.
foreach($images as $image){
try {
$response = $fb->post("/PAGEID/photos", [
'source' => $fb->fileToUpload($image),
'published' => 'false'
], PAGE_TOKEN);
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
$errors[]= 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode();
$post_images[]= $graphNode['id'];
}
foreach ($post_images as $key => $post_image) {
$attachMedia[$key] = ['media_fbid' => $post_image];
}
try {
$response = $fb->post(
"/PAGEID/feed",
[
'message' => YOUR_MESSAGE,
'attached_media' => $attachMedia
],
PAGE_TOKEN
);
} catch(Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
$errors[]= 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
$post = json_decode($response->getBody());
