Do you have it all installed correctly?

Are you designing for experience or for the ability? You could use Ping.fm / Update all of your social networks at once!

I thought I installed it correctly and double checked but it still has the same error.

I'm doing it for the ability and the experience.

I don't want to update all social networking sites at the same time - I'd prefer to do them separately.

There is probably a much easier way to do what I'm trying to do; All I want is a box for me to put my status in and a button to submit it.

Ok, I scrapped most of the stuff I did before and started from scratch. I've now got a page that will update my Facebook status:

<html>

<body>

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/authorize.php?api_key=API&v=1.0&ext_perm=publish_stream ">Click here if account is has not got extended permissions.</a><br /><br />

</body>

</html>


<?php


require_once('facebook.php');


$facebook = new Facebook('API','SECRET');


$fb_user = $facebook->require_login();


$facebook->api_client->users_setStatus('STATUS','','',1);

?>

Currently, whenever I load that page, it will post "STATUS" as my facebook message.

Is there a way to make a form on another page containing a text box and a submit button and whatever I write inside the box gets set as my facebook status?

Update:
I wrote this:

<?php


require_once('facebook.php');


$facebook = new Facebook('API','SECRET');


$fb_user = $facebook->require_login();


$facebook->api_client->users_setStatus('". $_POST["status"] ."','','',1);

?>

But when I submit the form, it sets my facebook status as:

'". $_POST["status"] ."'

Instead of what I put in my textbox (with the name 'status').

Any ideas?

I guess you should only use the $_POST["status"] as first parameter.
