Send notification or post on wall.

Question

Hello everyone, i have been going crazy and cant figure out how to make a script for my application that would allow the user to select a friend and send them a notification or post on their wall from my application.

I just need to notify their friend that they have been challenged to play a flash games, just a simple text with a link, i dont need anything fancy :D

Here is what i tried and it doesnt work :( no idea why.

$message = 'Watch this video!';
 $attachment = array( 'name' => 'ninja cat', 'href' => 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muLIPWjks_M', 'caption' => '{*actor*} uploaded a video to www.youtube.com', 'description' => 'a sneaky cat', 'properties' => array('category' => array( 'text' => 'pets', 'href' => 'http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=t&c=15'), 'ratings' => '5 stars'), 'media' => array(array('type' => 'flash', 'swfsrc' => 'http://www.youtube.com/v/fzzjgBAaWZw&hl=en&fs=1', 'imgsrc' => 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/muLIPWjks_M/default.jpg?h=100&w=200&sigh=__wsYqEz4uZUOvBIb8g-wljxpfc3Q=', 'width' => '100', 'height' => '80', 'expanded_width' => '160', 'expanded_height' => '120')));
 $action_links = array( array('text' => 'Upload a video', 'href' => 'http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_upload'));
 $target_id = $user;
 $facebook->api_client->stream_publish($message, $attachment, $action_links, $target_id);

UPDATE: appinclude.php

$facebook->redirect('https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=132611566776827&redirect_uri=https://apps.facebook.com/gamesorbiter/&scope=publish_stream');

Error i get:

{
   "error": {
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "message": "Invalid redirect_uri: The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (https://apps.facebook.com/gamesorbiter/) must be in the same domain or be in a subdomain of an application's base domain (gamesorbiter.com).  You can configure the base domain in the application's settings."
   }
}

Without the extra "s"(http) i get this error:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Please if you could post an example. Also do i need extended permission to do that or if the user sends the message i dont need that ?

Thank You

Also do i need extended permission to do that or if the user sends the message i dont that ?

Yes, you need the offline_access and publish_stream extended permission from the users.

Update:

In your appinclude.php file, put code like this:

$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
$user = $facebook->require_login();

$facebook->redirect('https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?
client_id=[YOUR APP ID]&
redirect_uri=[YOUR APP URL]&
scope=publish_stream, offline_access');

Replace [YOUR APP ID] with application id that you can see from application settings where you created the site in Facebook Developers section. Also replace the [YOUR APP URL] with your app url.
