Problems by uploading Photo to album by Facebook API - PHP - facebook

Question

I have problems to upload a photo to an album by the facebook API. this is my code.
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
//Create an album
$album_details = array(
'message'=> 'Message',
'name'=> 'Album Name'
);
$create_album = $facebook->api('/me/albums?access_token='.$access_token, 'post', $album_details);
//Get album ID of the album you've just created
$album_id = $create_album['id'];
echo $album_id." - ";
//Upload a photo to album of ID...
$photo_details = array();
$img = "app.jpg";
$photo_details['source'] = '#' . $img;
$photo_details['message'] = 'Wow.. cool image!';
$upload_photo = $facebook->api('/'.$album_id.'/photos?access_token='.$access_token, 'post', $photo_details);
When i upload the image with a form, it works! but this code does not upload the image into the album.
I have tried also with CURL but there is nothing... i don't know where the problem is...

Answer 1

After testing few things on Graph API Explorer, Here's a working PHP Version:
<?php
# Path to facebook's PHP SDK.
require_once("facebook.php");
# Facebook application config.
$config = array(
'appId' => 'YOUR_APP_ID',
'secret' => 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
'fileUpload' => true # Optional and can be set later as well (Using setFileUploadSupport() method).
);
# Create a new facebook object.
$facebook = new Facebook($config);
# Current user ID.
$user_id = $facebook->getUser();
# Check to see if we have user ID.
if($user_id) {
# If we have a user ID, it probably means we have a logged in user.
# If not, we'll get an exception, which we handle below.
try {
# Get the current user access token:
$access_token = $facebook->getAccessToken();
# Create an album:
$album_details = array(
'access_token' => $access_token,
'name' => 'Album Name',
'message' => 'Your album message goes here',
);
$create_album = $facebook->api('/me/albums', 'POST', $album_details);
# Get album ID of the album you've just created:
$album_id = $create_album['id'];
# Output album ID:
echo 'Album ID: ' . $album_id;
# Upload photo to the album we've created above:
$image_absolute_url = 'http://domain.com/image.jpg';
$photo_details = array();
$photo_details['access_token'] = $access_token;
$photo_details['url'] = $image_absolute_url; # Use this to upload image using an Absolute URL.
$photo_details['message'] = 'Your picture message/caption goes here';
//$image_relative_url = 'my_image.jpg';
//$photo_details['source'] = '#' . realpath($image_relative_url); # Use this to upload image from using a Relative URL. (Currently commented out).
$upload_photo = $facebook->api('/' . $album_id . '/photos', 'POST', $photo_details);
# Output photo ID:
echo '<br>Photo ID: ' . $upload_photo['id'];
} catch(FacebookApiException $e) {
// If the user is logged out, you can have a
// user ID even though the access token is invalid.
// In this case, we'll get an exception, so we'll
// just ask the user to login again here.
$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl( array('scope' => 'publish_stream, user_photos'));
echo 'Please login.';
error_log($e->getType());
error_log($e->getMessage());
}
} else {
# No user, print a link for the user to login and give the required permissions to perform tasks.
$params = array(
'scope' => 'publish_stream, user_photos', # These permissions are required in order to upload image to user's profile.
);
$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl($params);
echo 'Please login.';
}
?>
I have added comments so you could understand what it does by reading the code.
This works with both absolute url and relative url, I have commented out code for uploading image using relative url as you have mentioned in your comments you can't read real path of the image.
EDIT: Note: The user has to give extended permissions to your facebook application to upload images to their profile, Those permissions are publish_stream and user_photos.
Let me know if this helped you and if it works :)

$user = $this->facebook->getUser();
$this->facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
$user_profile = $this->facebook->api('/me');
$album_details = array(
'message' => 'Hello everybody this is me ' . $user_profile['name'],
'name' => 'I am so slim because I dont have money to eat....:('
);
$create_album = $this->facebook->api('/me/albums', 'post', $album_details);
// Upload a picture
$photo_details = array(
'message' => 'I am so slim because I dont have money to eat....:('
);
$photo_details['image'] = '#' . realpath('./a.jpg');
$upload_photo = $this->facebook->api('/' . $create_album['id'] . '/photos', 'post', $photo_details);
Please use $facebook on $this->facebook
