Upload images to a specific Facebook Album

Question

I can create an album using facebook graph api by posting data to

http://graph.facebook.com/ALBUM_ID/albums

it returns an id, which is not

Answer 1

The new php-sdk is working just fine, I've just tested it and here are my comments:

1.Make sure you have the right extended permission which is publish_stream for both Album creation and Photo upload.

2.After creating the Album using the below code, you'll receive the Album ID:

$post_data = array(
    'name'=>"My Test Album",
    'description'=>"My Test Album Desc"
    );
$data['album'] = $this->facebook->api("/me/albums", 'post', $post_data);  

P.S: I confirm this ID is NOT the ID you see when browsing Facebook

3.Now we need to upload the image with the Album "reference" ID you got:

$file = FCPATH . "assets/img/small1.jpg";
$post_data = array(
    "message" => "My photo caption",
    "source" => '@' . realpath($file)
);
$album_id = "473425002142";
$data['photo'] = $this->facebook->api("/$album_id/photos", 'post', $post_data);  

P.S: the Constant FCPATH is a Codeigniter constant, you can you $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] or whatever method you are comfortable with.

And the result:
