Question

I am a novice with the Facebook API. I have read so many tutorials and I am still confused.I find that I can post to the feed with API methods like this:

$data = array("message" => "Hello World!");
$status = $fb->api("/me/feed", "POST", $data);

and that is correct, second way is using cURL, something like this:

CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $params,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_VERBOSE

Which way is better?

Answer 1

This is a subjective question.

While using curl may seems good way (with more control on what’s going on) I personally prefer and recommend to use PHP-SDK for obvious reasons:

• Officially supported
• Most changes to API will be transparent to you with update to SDK
