How do you post to the wall on a facebook page (not profile)
I have a blog site written in php and it posts new blog posts to twitter and a blog ping automatically under the hood using simple http post requests passed using php curl.
I have a facebook page for the blog site and want the updates to be posted to the wall on the page, is there a simple way to do this?
What I really want is a url and set of params to parcel up as an http post request.
Note that this is to post to the wall on a new style page not a profile.
Thanks in advance.
Solution 1:
Get PHP SDK from github and run the following code:
<?php
$attachment = array(
'message' => 'this is my message',
'name' => 'This is my demo Facebook application!',
'caption' => "Caption of the Post",
'link' => 'http://mylink.com',
'description' => 'this is a description',
'picture' => 'http://mysite.com/pic.gif',
'actions' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Get Search',
'link' => 'http://www.google.com'
)
)
);
$result = $facebook->api('/me/feed/', 'post', $attachment);
the above code will Post the message on to your wall... and if you want to post onto your friends or others wall then replace me
with the Facebook User Id of that user..for further information look out the API Documentation.

This works for me:
try {
$statusUpdate = $facebook->api('/me/feed', 'post',
array('name'=>'My APP on Facebook','message'=> 'I am here working',
'privacy'=> array('value'=>'CUSTOM','friends'=>'SELF'),
'description'=>'testing my description',
'picture'=>'https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/mypicture.gif',
'caption'=>'apps.facebook.com/myapp','link'=>'http://apps.facebook.com/myapp'));
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
d($e);
}

Harish has the answer here - except you need to request manage_pages
permission when authenticating and then using the page-id
instead of me
when posting....
$result = $facebook->api('page-id/feed/','post',$attachment);
