i am starting to make an iframe based app for facebook. the standalone web app is ready. only facebook integration is left. i looked over things in the docs and learned that i can use XFBML tags only. but when i tried using them, it didnt work. can someone tell me how to use the XFBML tags. also is there any doctype mod to be done on the php page?

The wiki states:
For the user's browser to correctly recognize XFBML tags, you need to specify that the page is in XHTML. Thus, your page should begin with:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

I'd suggest taking a walkthrough of the XFBML setup docs. There are several requirements to go through before you can start rendering XFBML tags:
- In order for XFBML tags to work, you must specify
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbmlas an attribute in your<html>tag. - You need a cross-domain receiver file (
xd_receiver.htm) - You need to include the
FeatureLoader.jslibrary. - You need to use the
RequireFeaturescall of the Facebook library to load the XFBML parser
There are walk-throughs available for setting up XFBML if you google around, but honestly that FB document is pretty straightforward. It's the one I always follow when setting up a new iframe app.
