Answer 1

You can like any object, including a photo object by issuing a post to its object url, after receiving proper permissions " publish_stream". Deleting the like is same, just issue 'delete' instead of 'post'

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/photo/#likes

Using php sdk 3.1.1, with user access token you can :

-----publish like----- this will post a like to the photos like object.

<?php
$params = array(
'access_token' => ''.$access_token.'',
'method' => 'post'
);
$pageLike = $facebook->api('/PhotoID/likes', 'post', $params);
?>

-----issue delete----- this will delete a like to the photos like object.

<?php
$params = array(
'access_token' => ''.$access_token.'',
'method' => 'post'
);
$pageLike = $facebook->api('/PhotoID/likes', 'delete', $params);
?>
