Using the facebook php-sdk, users can upload photos to facebook from our site. I can create the album and upload the photos. But can't get the URL to the newly created Album :(
Here's what I do ...
// create album
$albumDetails = array(
'name' => 'Fun images'
);
$album = $facebook->api('/me/albums', 'post', $albumDetails);
$albumID = $album['id'];
// upload photos
foreach ($images as $image) {
$file = FACEBOOK_IMAGES_DIR . $image->image_id . '.jpg';
$photoDetails = array(
'message'=> 'by choreboy'
);
$photoDetails['image'] = '#' . realpath($file);
$photoData = $facebook->api('/'.$albumID.'/photos', 'post', $photoDetails);
}
// Graph API says I can get link to the album:
// http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/album
// I thought I could get to the link data this way. But returns an empty array
$data=$facebook->api("/{$albumID}/photos?access_token={$session['access_token']}");
var_dump($data);
Maybe you are missing the first line in this code.
This URL redirects to your album:
$album_url = 'http://www.facebook.com/' . $albumID;

I have a PHP script that upload an image+description+other details on my facebook fanpage wall.
But what i need is to upload INSIDE an Album.
I'm looking all over the internet for this answer, this tutorial is the closest i got until now.
Here's my code:
$params = array(
"access_token" => $page_token,
"message" => "#php #facebook",
"link" => "www.domain.com.br",
"description" => "Buy this now!",
"source" => "#" . $path,
);
try {
$ret = $fb->api('/'.$album_id . '/photos', 'POST', $params);
echo 'Successfully posted to Facebook Fan Page';
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
I have already tried to change this $ret = $fb->api('/'.$fanpage_id . '/photos', 'POST', $params); path to this one: $ret = $fb->api('/'.$fanpage_id.'/'.$album_id . '/photos', 'POST', $params); and something similar.
But it returns (#240) The target_id references an inactive user because fb API thinks that $album_id is the $fanpage_id.
if somebody knows how to post a picture inside the album, please help me ;)
Here it is, this code checks if the album with the name you want exists, if not creates a new one:
//Check if the album exists just change PAGE_ID to the ID of your page and NAME_OF_YOUR_ALBUM to the name of the album where you want to upload the photo
$fql = "SELECT object_id FROM album WHERE owner = PAGE_ID AND name='NAME_OF_YOUR_ALBUM'";
$album_exists = $this->facebook->api(array(
'method' => 'fql.query',
'query' =>$fql,
'access_token' => $accessToken
));
if(array_key_exists(0, $album_exists)){
//the album with that name exists, let's save his ID
$album_uid = $album_exists[0]['object_id'];
}else{
//We don't have an album with that name, let's create an album
$album_details = array('name'=> 'NAME_OF_YOUR_ALBUM');
$create_album = $this->facebook->api('/'.$page_id.'/albums', 'post', $album_details);
//Get album ID of the album you've just created
$album_uid = $create_album['id'];
}
//details of the photo you want to upload
$photo_details = array('message'=> 'This is a fantastic photo');
$file='PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE/NAME_FILE.jpg'; //Example image file
$photo_details['image'] = '#' . realpath($file); //get the real path
//Upload the photo to the album you've just created or the one you wanted
$upload_photo = $this->facebook->api('/'.$album_uid.'/photos', 'post', $photo_details);
How do i get the Photo_ID from an photo which my app uploaded with the PHP SDK Code:
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
$img = '/tmp/mypic.png';
$photo = $facebook->api(‘/me/photos’, ‘POST’,
array( ‘source’ => ‘#’ . $img,
‘message’ => ‘Photo uploaded via the PHP SDK!’
));
Didnt see that it will give any response.
The response of a successful upload is the id of the photo, example:
{
"id": "1001207389476"
}
So $photo should hold a similar value.
What I want to do is create album on facebook and upload photo to the album, now it work to create an album on facebook,but it's not work on uploading photo to album, I dont know why I cannot get the album ID, any solution or idea?
here is my code which is create album and upload photo on facebook
<?//At the time of writing it is necessary to enable upload support in the Facebook SDK, you do this with the line:
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
//Create an album
$album_details = array(
'message'=> 'name',
'name'=> 'name'
);
$create_album = $facebook->api('/me/albums', 'post', $album_details);
//Get album ID of the album you've just created
$albums = $facebook->api('/me/albums');
foreach ($albums["data"] as $album) {
//Test if the current album name is the one that has just been created
if($album["name"] == 'name'){
$album_uid = $album["id"];
}
}
//Upload a photo to album of ID...
$photo_details = array(
'message'=> 'test'
);
$file='http://scm-l3.technorati.com/11/12/30/59287/google-logo-682-571408a.jpg'; //Example image file
$photo_details['image'] = '#' . realpath($file);
$upload_photo = $facebook->api('/'.$album_uid.'/photos', 'post', $photo_details);
//print_r($upload_photo);
?>
thanks
I dont think you could upload file from url, try:
$pathToFile = "/some/path/someimage.jpg";
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
............
$create_album = $facebook->api('/me/albums', 'post', $album_details);
//get the album id
$album_uid = $create_album["id"]; // no need for foreach loop
.....
$args = array('message' => 'Some message');
$args['image'] = '#' . realpath($pathToFile); //see realpath use here
$data = $facebook->api('/'. $album_uid . '/photos', 'post', $args);
Hope it helps
you can not call realpath against http file. it's for local files only.
download the file first using curl, wget, or one of php internal functions like file_get_contents/file_put_contents.
for example:
$file='http://scm-l3.technorati.com/11/12/30/59287/google-logo-682-571408a.jpg'; //Example image file
$output = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'blex_');
$cmd = "wget -q \"$file\" -O $output";
exec($cmd);
$photo_details['image'] = '#' . realpath($output);
Here is the code:
$file= 'bbbb.jpg';
$data = array(
basename($file) => "#".realpath($file),
"caption" => "Uploaded using graph api",
"aid" => '13595',
"access_token" => $accessToken,
'method' => 'photos.upload'
);
$sds =$facebook->api($data);
This is the error
Uncaught CurlException: 26: failed creating formpost data
What to do?
Here are some various ways to upload photos using the Graph API. The examples assume you've instantiated the $facebook object and have a valid session for the current user.
1 - Default Application Album of Current User
This example will upload the photo to your default application album of the current user. If the album does not yet exist it will be created.
$args = array('message' => 'Photo Caption');
$args['image'] = '#' . realpath($FILE_PATH);
$data = $facebook->api('/me/photos', 'post', $args);
print_r($data);
2 - Target Album
This example will upload the photo to a specific album.
$args = array('message' => 'Photo Caption');
$args['image'] = '#' . realpath($FILE_PATH);
$data = $facebook->api('/'. $ALBUM_ID . '/photos', 'post', $args);
print_r($data);
3 - Target Album with Access Token
This example will upload a photo to a specific album which requires an access token.
$args = array('message' => 'Photo Caption');
$args['image'] = '#' . realpath($FILE_PATH);
$data = $facebook->api('/'. $ALBUM_ID . '/photos?access_token='. $ACCESS_TOKEN, 'post', $args);
print_r($data);
your $data array should have "message" instead of "caption",
also, remove "aid", "method", and "access_token"
your $data has to have the file data and "message", that is it.
$sds =$facebook->api('/me/13595/photos', 'POST', $data);
where instead of 13595 just use the variable with the album aid
also, if needed, access_token is best appended to api uri like this:
$sds =$facebook->api('/me/13595/photos?access_token='.$access_token, 'POST', $data);
also, if the php sdk doesn't work for you, I have successfully used cURL instead if your php installation supports it. in that case see cURL example at Upload Photo To Album with Facebook's Graph API
The latest version of the Facebook PHP SDK wont work with the above examples without the following update to the code.
class Facebook {
...
*Line #539*
protected function makeRequest($url, $params, $ch=null) {
if (!$ch) {
$ch = curl_init();
}
if( isset($params['doMultiPart']) ) {
$doMultiPart= true;
unset($params['doMultiPart']);
} else {
$doMultiPart= false;
}
$opts = self::$CURL_OPTS;
$opts[CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS] = $doMultiPart ? $params : http_build_query($params, null, '&');
...
Basically the problem is that the PHP SDK uses "curl_setopt_array" which if you pass it a url encoded string as the option value it will pass the data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded when what you really want is multipart/form-data; to do this we simply switch to passing in the array of options if we have a param of doMultiPart in the params array.
This was a quick hack I put together to get something working, probably need to review the code to make sure it doesnt break anything else you are doing. Otherwise enjoy.
I've set up a Facebook application, I've requested the extended permissions and now I'm trying to upload a photo but it doesn't work!
I've tried everything, from
$facebook->api_client->photos_upload('photo/789165784.jpg');
To
$facebook->api_client->photos_upload('photo/789165784.jpg', NULL, 'My photo', 100000287894654);
I'm beginning to suspect that I need to set up some extensions for php. I'm using WAMP and since the server is currently offline, I can't test it on production until tomorrow (I think..).
Thanks!

I don't know too much about this, I'm afraid, but the following link suggests that other people have had the same problem. Maybe this forum will be helpful:
