Question

I am using heroku, php and javascript, I am a complete newb.

I have a facebook app that asks the user for their name, birthday and email address. I want this information emailed or inboxed to me or better yet create an event on my xxxbirthdays calendar?

Answer 1

Facebook can’t send emails for you. You’ll have to implement sending emails in your server side code. Easiest to use the built in php mail() function.

Friend’s birthdays already appear on your calendar, but here is the documentation for creating events –

• on behalf of a user – https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#events
• on behalf of a page – https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/#events
