How to import photos from Facebook?

Question

I noticed when I visit photo printing websites, they ask you if you would like to import your photos from Facebook. How do they do it? Does Facebook provide API to import us

Answer 1

get_albums returns an array of albums, do a var_dump to see what it returns.

$albums = get_albums($facebook);
foreach($albums as $album)
{
     if($album["count"] > 0)
     {
          //if the album has pictures, then do something with the album
     }
}

function get_albums($facebook)
{
    $fb_user = getFbUser($facebook);
    $myalbums = $facebook->api('/me/albums');
    return $myalbums["data"];
}

function getFbUser($facebook)
{
    $fb_user = $facebook->getUser(); //gets user id

    if(is_null($fb_user))
    {
            header("Location:{$facebook->getLoginUrl(array('req_perms' => 'user_status,publish_stream,user_photos'))}");
            exit;
    }
    return $fb_user;
}

function getFb()
{
    $facebook = new Facebook(array(
        'appId' => 'your_appid',
        'secret' => 'your_secret',
        'cookie' => true,
        ));
    return $facebook;
}
