PHP Facebook API Client Library
Facebook has created a nice php library that allows you to use their
API without writing a lot of extra code. You can grab the PHP version
of the library at developers.facebook.com/resources.php. Download the ‘PHP (4 and 5) Client Library’.
Once you’ve downloaded the library unzip it into a folder that is
accessible by your PHP scripts. So you would have something like
/php_include_directory/facebook/ and in that folder you will have the
entire Facebook PHP Client Library (3 folders: client, footprints,
php4client). I’m using PHP5 so my examples will be using the “client”
directory of the library. The footprints folder is an example
application.
