So I have a database table with the Facebook page ID’s of my users. I would like to generate a like button dynamically with only the ID available to me to do this. The problem as I see it is that I don’t know what the data-href attribute is supposed to have considering that Facebook page url’s look like this: http://facebook.com/pages/hyphenated-name/<?=$FB_id?> and I don’t have the hyphenated name stored in my database to generate the that url.

Is there another URL structure Facebook’s back-end will accept that just has the ID and not the hyphenated name, but will still count likes on that person’s Facebook fan page? Is this impossible?

    You can do a look up of the id, and retrieve the link of the page stored.

    example: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=191825050853209

    refer to: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/ under link connection.

    This method will require use of the graph api, or one of the sdks.
