How do you post to the wall on a facebook page (not profile)

Admin 1

I have a blog site written in php and it posts new blog posts to twitter and a blog ping automatically under the hood using simple http post requests passed using php curl.

I have a facebook page for the blog site and want the updates to be posted to the wall on the page, is there a simple way to do this?

What I really want is a url and set of params to parcel up as an http post request.

Note that this is to post to the wall on a new style page not a profile.

Thanks in advance.

You can not post to Facebook walls automatically without creating an application and using the templated feed publisher as Frank pointed out.

The only thing you can do is use the 'share' widgets that they provide, which require user interaction.

You can make api calls by choosing the HTTP method and setting optional parameters:

$facebook->api('/me/feed/', 'post', array(
    'message' => 'I want to display this message on my wall'
));

Submit Post to Facebook Wall :

Include the fbConfig.php file to connect Facebook API and get the access token.

Post message, name, link, description, and the picture will be submitted to Facebook wall. Post submission status will be shown.

If FB access token ($accessToken) is not available, the Facebook Login URL will be generated and the user would be redirected to the FB login page.

Post to facebook wall php sdk

<?php
//Include FB config file
require_once 'fbConfig.php';

if(isset($accessToken)){
    if(isset($_SESSION['facebook_access_token'])){
        $fb->setDefaultAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);
    }else{
        // Put short-lived access token in session
        $_SESSION['facebook_access_token'] = (string) $accessToken;

        // OAuth 2.0 client handler helps to manage access tokens
        $oAuth2Client = $fb->getOAuth2Client();

        // Exchanges a short-lived access token for a long-lived one
        $longLivedAccessToken = $oAuth2Client->getLongLivedAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);
        $_SESSION['facebook_access_token'] = (string) $longLivedAccessToken;

        // Set default access token to be used in script
        $fb->setDefaultAccessToken($_SESSION['facebook_access_token']);
    }

    //FB post content
    $message = 'Test message from CodexWorld.com website';
    $title = 'Post From Website';
    $link = 'http://www.codexworld.com/';
    $description = 'CodexWorld is a programming blog.';
    $picture = 'http://www.codexworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/www-codexworld-com-programming-blog.png';

    $attachment = array(
        'message' => $message,
        'name' => $title,
        'link' => $link,
        'description' => $description,
        'picture'=>$picture,
    );

    try{
        //Post to Facebook
        $fb->post('/me/feed', $attachment, $accessToken);

        //Display post submission status
        echo 'The post was submitted successfully to Facebook timeline.';
    }catch(FacebookResponseException $e){
        echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
        exit;
    }catch(FacebookSDKException $e){
        echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
        exit;
    }
}else{
    //Get FB login URL
    $fbLoginURL = $helper->getLoginUrl($redirectURL, $fbPermissions);

    //Redirect to FB login
    header("Location:".$fbLoginURL);
}
