From: "Ward Morris" on 4 Apr 2010 11:56 I've been struggling with integration to Facebook via the PEAR package and was wondering if anyone has a basic example? I'm past the issues on installing the package and enabling curl for apache. Currently, I'm getting 'Invalid API Key' back from Facebook, but I've checked and double checked that the key and secret are correct for my application. In short, all I want to do is to pull announcements and photos from a Facebook user and display on an external website. Here's an excerpt of my code. // Contains all the includes for application as well as PEAR includes. include_once '../include_path.php'; try { $api = new Services_Facebook(); $api->apiKey = '[key]'; $api->secret = '[secret]'; $api->useSessionSecret(); $photos = $api->photos->getPhotosByUser('[uid]'); } catch (Services_Facebook_Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } Thanks for any help you can offer.

Also, I don't think you need the "useSessionSecret()" setting. Try this: try { Services_Facebook::$apiKey = 'apikey'; Services_Facebook::$secret = 'secret'; Services_Facebook::$sessionKey = 'session_key'; $api = new Services_Facebook(); $photos = $api->photos->getPhotosByUser('user_id'); var_dump($photos); } catch (Services_Facebook_Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); }

The difference with my site is that I don't care who is coming to the site or whether they've logged in to Facebook. I want to use an application defined Facebook user and pull announcement, messages, photos from other Facebook users (of course my application defined Facebook user would have access to view that info on the other users accounts). I'm going in circles reading articles and docs on Facebook Connect, because I don't want my users to have to login. In short, I want to create website for a customer who has a Facebook account. On this customer's website, I want to pull content from its Facebook account. Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Shupp [mailto:hostmaster(a)shupp.org] Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2010 11:48 AM To: PEAR general mailing list Cc: Ward Morris Subject: Re: [PEAR] Services/Facebook Examples On Apr 4, 2010, at 9:33 AM, Ward Morris wrote: > Bill, thanks for your direction; Looks like I'm on a better path now.
