Facebook status update API

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello,

So, I'm trying to create my first Facebook application with PHP.

Basic ideas for my application:
My website includes feature called “tip of the week" and i would like to create a code that automatically sends this “tip" to my facebook page as well (as status update). I tried use crontab in my webserver for sending the data, but ran into problems...

PHP code that i tried is simple:
Code: $api_key = '***';
$secret = '***';

require('/facebook-platform/php/facebook.php');

$facebook = new Facebook($api_key, $secret);
$user = $facebook->require_login();

$output = “my status";
$result = $facebook->api_client->users_setStatus($output);

This works just fine when it's used with browser. But the require_login() part gives trouble when code is used with crontab (no login cookie/information).

So is there a way to send data to my application without login, or is there some other way to create status updates? Can I send the login information with the require_login() (for example)?
