Problem posting an update to Facebook

[eluser]Gram3000[/eluser]
Hi,

I've been using Elliot Haughin's Facebook connect library and I have it working retrieving information from Facebook.

One thing I can't do though it post updates to Facebook, is this possible with this Library?

I've tried:

$this->facebook_connect->client->stream_publish($message);

But this gives me the error:

Call to undefined method Facebook_connect:tream_publish()

Can anyone help? I've been looking through this forum and Google all morning with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

you are best off to use the graph api, which is in a rest-ful format and accepts a simple post command with curl. you can run and tell THAT, homeboy!

Cool, Thank you. I'll give it a go.

Do you recommend any Libraries for it, or use it directly with curl?

directly with curl. i recommend a curl class, which you could store seperate to ci or make into a library since that will get annoying writing all the curlopts out every second. here is one that i wrote awhile ago- i usually use this one if i am not using a framework since i have built an entire framework around "web automation" and i have on big controller that i use in an unorthodox method to make curl calls and store data and etc. anyway i don't want to get offtopic here you go.

Code:

<?php
/**
* curl class, for http connections
*/
class curl
{
    var $ch;
    
    function init($use_proxy=1)
    {
        /* setup the curl handle for this session */
        $this->ch = curl_init();
        
        /* randomize useragent */

        shuffle($agent);
        
        /* set the cookie into the dump folder */
        $cookie_path = '/var/www/mygen/cookies/'.uniqid().'.txt';

        /* set curl options */

            shuffle($ips);
            
            curl_setopt($this->ch,CURLOPT_PROXY,trim($ips[0]));
            
            unset($ips);
        }
