I am trying to upload a image to a gallery on a facebook fan page, here is my code thus far,

$ch = curl_init();

        $data = array(\'type\' => \'client_cr

Ok, got it working, here is the code, assuming that you have a valid session going.

    $token = $session['access_token'];

    //upload photo
    $file= 'photo.jpg';
    $args = array(
    'message' => 'Photo from application',
    );
    $args[basename($file)] = '@' . realpath($file);

    $ch = curl_init();
    $url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos?access_token='.$token;
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);

This will upload the specified image to the session holders gallery, it will create a album if there is not one present, also you can access the token via the session array as demonstrated above. Hope this helps someone out.

Probably your application doesn't have needed permissions.

To request permissions via OAuth, use the scope argument in your authorization request, and include a comma separated list of all the permissions you want to request.
