Uploading image to Facebook by using Curl PHP

Question

I read the instructions: Upload Photo To Album with Facebook's Graph API

But although I follow the instructions, the image can't be uploaded to FB. Here is my code. Please help me.

$graph_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/". $album_id . "/photos?access_token=" . $access_token;

$ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $post_url );

$post_array = array(
        "source" =>"@". realpath("photo.jpg"),
        "message"=>"Upload " . date('Y-m-d h:i:s') 
    );
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_array); 
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
$graph_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/". $album_id . "/photos?access_token=" . $access_token;

$ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $post_url );

$post_array = array(
        "source" =>"@". realpath("photo.jpg"),
        "message"=>"Upload " . date('Y-m-d h:i:s') 
    );
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_array); 
    $response = curl_exec($ch);

"image can't be uploaded to FB". Why not? Do you get any errors? — CodeCaster, Sep 05 '11 at 10:48
Should `$post_url` be replaced with `$graph_url`? It's also not clear why you duplicate the code. — OXiGEN, Jul 07 '19 at 19:20

Try this out and see the result:

echo realpath("photo.jpg")

Does it return you the correct path?

Try with /photo.jpg or ./photo
