I made this PHP script that fetches messages to be posted at regular intervals to a Facebook Page that I administer. My script is working fine, but depends on me as a user being logged into Facebook. I would like this script to run as a cron job so i fear the script will fail to work if i'm logged out. How can i make it work even if i'm not logged into Facebook? Note that I created a Facebook application as requested to be able to use the Facebook api. Is there a way to post as the Facebook application perhaps? Here is my code, in case it helps. <pre><code>require_once('config.inc.php'); require '_classes/facebook-php-sdk/src/facebook.php'; $homeurl = 'http://domain.com/to-facebook/index.php'; $post_url = '/'.PAGEID.'/feed'; // The message $msg_body = array( 'message' => 'hello world', ); // Post to Facebook $facebook = new Facebook(array( 'appId' => FB_APP_ID, 'secret' => FB_APP_SECRET, )); // Get User ID $fbuser = $facebook->getUser(); if ($fbuser) { try { $postResult = $facebook->api($post_url, 'post', $msg_body ); } catch (FacebookApiException $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } }else{ // I would like never to come to this point... $loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array('redirect_uri'=>$homeurl,'scope'=>'publish_stream,manage_pages,publish_actions,status_update,offline_access')); header('Location: ' . $loginUrl); } if($postResult) { echo '<h1>Your message is posted on your facebook wall.</h1>'; } </code></pre> * update * I tried the cronjob and unfortunately, after a while I had the "Error validating access token: Session has expired at unix time" message. I'm puzzled. What am i doing wrong?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
