Question

I want to send app request to user of app Facebook.

https://graph.facebook.com/myid_facebook/apprequests?message=test&data=INSERT_STRING_DATA&access_token=XXXXXXX&method=post

I’ve tried using curl, but it’s not to work …

This is my source code

$app_id = 'XXXXXXXXXX';
$app_secret = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';

$apprequest_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/endif.tc" .
        "/apprequests?message=’pak nurrohman memberi anda tugas’" .
        "&data=’INSERT_STRING_DATA’&access_token=" .
        $this->facebook->getAccessToken() . "&method=post";

$result = file_get_html($apprequest_url);
echo ("Request id number: " . $result['request']);

file_get_html is function to load another page using curl.

and this error is:

"failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request"

I want to execute this graph on php side..is there any solution for me?

I’m sorry, my bad english.:)

Answer 1

I believe this is because of the url and the fact you cant just method=post.

"https://graph.facebook.com/endif.tc"

Use This Code Instead For A Proper URL

$user_id = 'endif.tc';
$data = 'test';
$message = 'test request';
$url = "https://graph.facebook.com/".urlencode($user_id)."/apprequests" .
    "?message=".urlencode($message).
    "&data=".urlencode($data).
    "&access_token=".$this->facebook->getAccessToken();

The other issue may be that file_get_contents does not POST the data to the page. If you wish to post the data you might need to use the cURL library.
