If you have strived for the uploading photos on Facebook via your site, then you are at right place. On demand of my readers I have written this article to show how to upload images on Facebook via PHP. First of all you need to create a Facebook app. I will not tell you how to do that. Get the appId and secret code of your application from facebook. This appId and secret code is necessary to connect you site to the application on Facebook. This code uses the Facebook.php class that can be downloaded from here.
PHP Code:

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I have a question, how can I set image to auto upload to user wall instead of uploading it?thanks
Man it doesent work this script with sdk 3.2 !
If i use sdk 2.1 2.0 etc facebook dosent allow me to upload any pictures since its 3.2 out there !
So what to do now ?
Can I use a form to add a message or caption instead off using the canned message? So when I hit upload it takes the comment and passes it as a variable which will be posted with the picture?
Thanks
