Question

I have a photo application where the user can create albums. My concern is that if they delete the album via facebook andthey try to upload another picture in that album, it’s eaither not going to work or create a default album and upload it to that.

So what I was thinking was to check if the album exists before uploading a picture. Here’s the code I have:

exec("curl https://graph.facebook.com/10150160401046994?access_token=i_have_a_access_token_here_but_i_dont_want_to_share_it", $hi);

print_r("$hi");

However, when outputting I just get “ARRAY”. I really want to see what Facebook says just as if you went to the page.

Thanks in advance

Is there any possible reason you can’t use curl for this?

$ch = curl_init('https://graph.facebook.com/10150160401046994?access_token=i_have_a_access_token_here_but_i_dont_want_to_share_it');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump($response);
var_dump(json_decode($response)); // if you want an array.
