I'm just getting into Facebook application development. I've got some questions about how the applications are developed.
First, there's the Facebook PHP SDK. You can install this to a web server capable of executing PHP, but does that mean if you went to www.example.com/facebook-php-sdk/examples/example.php that it would look like you're on Facebook.com but with your fully functioning application?
Second, when I configured apache to set the documentroot to /facebook-php-sdk/ I got white screens with every file - even with proper application ID and secret filled in.
Third, how do you set up to develop locally? I would like to have a sandbox where I can mess around, but the instructions are vague about how to get the PHP SDK going, I'm not sure what files I can edit where to get my "Hello, world!" on.
Thank you all for the help! I am very excited to start developing Facebook applications.
