There is a non-depreciated equivalent to the twitter or sharer.php functionality, though it is way more annoying. This doesn't exactly answer the question about "liking" a page but does accomplish the exact analogy to the twitter share, which seems to be what the question is asking.

• https://developers.facebook.com/apps/ - make a new app with a developer account.
• Make the Display Name the name of your business or website
• add your domain without http under App Domains
• add your base URL under Website with Facebook Login (with http )
• Grab the App ID

Now make your url like this:

http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=000000000000000&link=http://example.com/whatever&redirect_uri=http://example.com/backtothesite

You would think the redirect_uri would default to the user's facebook home or to the link parameter, but it's a required field.
