Answer 1

This calls for debugging.

First port of call: It could be that the cookies are not saved: Check whether the script actually generates a my_cookies.txt file. If it doesn't, create an empty one and do a chmod 777 on it.

Second port of call: curl_error().

Replace every curl_exec() call in the snippet by this:

$success = curl_exec(....... your options .....);

if (!$success) echo "CURL Error: ".curl_error();

this might give you some pointers as to what goes wrong.

However, seeing as the script tries to imitate a browser instead of using an API, it could be that the structure of the submission form has changed on Facebooks's side, in which case you'll have to parse the output cURL gives you and see what goes wrong.

All in all, if there is any way to do this cleanly through an API - I don't know whether there is - it would be much preferable to this.
