I need to create a program which allows to store photos of which people has uploaded in Facebook based on the photo description. For example, I upload/post on Facebook a picture with the description "#awesomeevent" the program should be able to store this particular image into the database. Twitter has hashtags but Facebook do not any where which i can work around this ?
I was thinking of using a FQL query but unsure how to do it.
The best (and only?) way to do this imho is to include the hashtag in the message of the photos and read it from there. I would not use FQL for that, because there is no need to use it. The Graph API offers enough possibilities/connections to read photos:

(/me/photos, /me/photos/uploaded, /me/albums, ...)

There is Any way or Method to find user information by using user image.
Suppose that: i have one person image by using this image, can we get user information from google+, facebook, and other social sites.
If you could use Google Image search by example programatically, you might be able to do it.
In practice, the user image on other pages might look the same but they will be compressed with different algorithms, so you can't compare them byte-wise.
All in all, it is much easier to ask the user to add the info.
You could try submitting the image to TinEye here and that does a reverse search, so it will show you all other places where that photo appears on the web.
I'm putting together an application in facebook, part of which requires a user to input a bunch of information into a form, including a video and a number of text fields.
For my application, I'm using a combination of HTML, PHP, mySQL and Javascript.
I want to be able to upload the users video file to facebook using the PHP SDK in the same page as I am inserting their info into my database. I want something similiar to the photo solution here: Exception when uploading photo with Facebook Graph API. But I'm not sure what the array key should be for the video itself.
Can any give me any ideas?
My apologies,
I realized that the solution I linked to works. However, you have to give facebook time to process the video, otherwise the graph api replies false.
What I want to do is, to show uploaded videos list of my youtube channel to website's visitors.
Something like that. (Image take from youtube channel, I want to show exactly this way)
Don't want to create iframe. Can I fetch data from channels exact page with PHP or something else? I have no idea if it's possible with youtube api. Any suggestions?
Yes you can. The videos on a channel are essentially a user's so using the YouTube GData API you can make a call to http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author=ahmednuaman (my videos for example).
Twitter has now rolled out a feature for a user, whereby they display the users photos in a gallery. I've looked around the Developer Docs and cant spot any way to grab the images as a feed (json/xml). Does anyone know if there is a way to do this with PHP?

I'd like to fetch statuses from users facebook newsfeed via the graph API.
It seems to be pretty simple when I have the right access token, then I can fetch this data with http://graph.facebook.com/home... But I want to fetch only statuses; no links, photos, videos and so on..
On the documentation page, I've seen many possibilities to specify selected data, for example I can limit obtained count of posts. Is there any possibility to control which data will be particularly fetched and which not? For example like graph.facebook.com/home?type="status"..
I can classify it in my PHP script, but then I need to be able to fetch a few more posts, like when I click on the more button on facebook or twitter, etc..I see some pagination data in Facebook JSON(I hope it's JSON:)), but I am propably not capable to use it in right way..
Thanks for your help!!
The doc page http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api says:
The Graph API allows you to read properties and connections of the Facebook social graph. You can use the API to read specific fields, get pictures of any object, introspect an object for metadata and get real-time updates on any changes.
...and...
You can choose the fields (or connections) you want returned with the "fields" query parameter. For example, this URL will only return the id, name, and picture of Ben: https://graph.facebook.com/bgolub?fields=id,name,picture
