Question

I’m working with the facebook api. Looking at the documentation on the site here.

Look at the example that you need to connect to via http post:

https://graph.facebook.com/me/recipebox:cook?
recipe=http://www.example.com/pumpkinpie.html&access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

But, the “recipe” (really an MLB game) in my case has a link of:

http://www.sportannica.com/team.php?team=New York Yankees&year=2012

Do I need to use modrewrite to make my link compatible with its place in the facebook graph url? having another question mark in the URL kinda messes things up.

Answer 1

Probably not, try using urlencode on the URL you pass for the recipe parameter.

$recipeurl = 'http://www.sportannica.com/team.php?team=New York Yankees&year=2012';


$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/me/recipebox:cook?recipe=' .
       urlencode($recipeurl) . '&access_token=1234';
