Facebook application with video uploading capabilities

I need to upload video files through Facebook application and later visualize all uploaded videos so that people can vote for a video they like. I searched and read some articles, but I still have questions that are not completely clear for me:

  • Is it better to use iframe or FBML
  • If I use iframe is it possible to use input type="file" and PHP to handle the uploading just like on a normal page (not with Facebook PHP SDK)

Please give me an advice what direction to take.

Solution

  • Uploading to Facebook using their API is notoriously difficult; first of all check out the thread on the faceboook dev forum.

    I would recommend doing it in an iframe, and you'll need about 60 cigarettes and several large whiskeys to get it working.
