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!
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);
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:

It also links to this page, which seems like it might help:

I just testing something and found out by script not working . It actually upload a pic and then use it pic id to tag some random peoples from the friend lists . My app have user_photos,publish_stream permissions . I can successfully upload the photo but i am getting error on making tags .
Here is The code:
$f1 = $facebook->api('me/friends?limit=19');
$img = $_REQUEST['imgl'];
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
$args = array(
'message' => $_REQUEST['m_Config']['appTitle'],
'source' => '#' . $img,
'access_token' => $access_token,
);
$photo = $facebook->api ( $user . '/photos', 'post', $args );
foreach($f1['data'] as $fbu){
$tagx = array('tag_uid' => $fbu['id'],'x' => rand(100,350),'y' => rand(100,350));
$ftags[] = $tagx;
}
$args = array (
'tags' => json_encode($ftags),
'access_token' => $access_token,
);
$result = $facebook->api('/' . $photo['id'] . '/tags', 'post', $args);
print_r($result);
Now the Error which , I am getting is Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: (#100) Invalid parameter thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\fb\base_facebook.php on line 1254
My question is where , My code is wrong . WHy I am getting error , I also tried searching but cant get it fixed .
Thanks
You seem to be assigning the tags at random locations for random friends, which is completely wrong.
The user should be selecting where in the photo their friends are - anything else would be against policy and likely to be shut down as spam
As for your code problem, this isn't working because tag_uid isn't a listed parameter name in the API - the parameter to use for specifying which user to tag is to
See the Photo object's Tag connection documentation for more details and some example code.
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);
I am using this code to upload photos to existing album with access_token
$FILE_PATH='C:\\wamp\\www\\photo\\photo.jpg';
$args = array('message' => 'Photo Caption');
$args['image'] = '#' . realpath($FILE_PATH);
$data = $facebook->api('/'. $aid . '/photos?access_token='. $user_access_token, 'post', $args);
print_r($data);
I have a valid access_token with publish_stream permission. I have checked i have a valid access_token, but here is an error comming.
> Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: An access token is required to request this resource. thrown in C:\wamp\www\photo\facebook-php-sdk\src\base_facebook.php on line 970
You need to set the upload support to true. The following code works for me:
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
$facebook->api('/'.$aid.'/photos', 'POST', array('image'=> '#' . realpath($FILE_PATH), 'message'=> 'Photo Caption'));
and furthermore, you will probably need the user_photos, photo_upload, and the publish_stream permissions.
The problem is that we need to set the access-token in the args,and then call to upload album, this was a fix that applied and it worked. thanks for your comments and answer,
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;
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.
