    <p>I am trying to build an app where I let my registered user be able to check in to places on Facebook Places. I however for some reason can't seem to make this work. I assumed this is possible with the Api as write functionality has been added to it, but I couldn't find an clear explanation on the web. this is what I currently have, after I have asked the user for permission to publish checkins and for user_checkins.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require("src/facebook.php"); $facebook = new Facebook(array( 'appId' =&gt; 'xxxxxxxxx', 'secret' =&gt; 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'cookie' =&gt; true )); # see if active session $session = $facebook-&gt;getSession(); if(!empty($session)) { try{ $uid = $facebook-&gt;getUser(); $api_call = array( 'method' =&gt; 'users.hasAppPermission', 'uid' =&gt; $uid, 'ext_perm' =&gt; 'publish_checkins' ); $can_post = $facebook-&gt;api($api_call); if($can_post){ $facebook-&gt;api('/'.$uid.'/checkins', 'POST', array( 'access_token' =&gt; $facebook-&gt;getAccessToken(), 'place' =&gt; 'place_id', 'message' =&gt;'I went to placename today', 'picture' =&gt; 'http://www.place.com/logo.jpg', 'coordinates' =&gt; array( 'latitude' =&gt; 'lattiude', 'longitude' =&gt; 'lattitude', 'tags' =&gt; $uid, ) ) ); echo 'You were checked in'; } else { die('Permissions required!'); } } catch (Exception $e){} } else { # There's no active session,generate one $login_url = $facebook-&gt;getLoginUrl(); header("Location: ".$login_url); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The code works when I change it 'checkins' to 'feed'. Is there something wrong with my code or am I trying to do somethign that isn't possible (or do it the wrong way).</p> <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated as I already spent quite a significant amount of time trying to fix this, but I just can't seem to make it work.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Marcus Joe</p>

    2. COStrange, printing it returns me an empty array. BTW I don't get any other errors, it just isn't showing "you checked in" while it does when I use it to post to feed.

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.
