Developing in cPanel with PHP

[gregoryheath14]

Excuse me if I have the wrong forum or post title but I am currently looking for some information and it would be great if someone could point me in the right direction..!

Essentially I am trying to:
1.Develop a facebook app by..
2.Hosting a .php file (the source/script code) in cPanel (located on the domain) and
3.Develop that .php file from a client using eclipse

Could anyone give me pointers as to the mechanisms i need to use to do this?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Greg

Actually, if you're not integrating with the actual features of cPanel&WHM but just want to create a PHP app, there's no need to use our APIs nor the SDK.

You would just need to build this like you would a typical PHP app.

Greg,
The process is quite simple. Once you create your PHP code, simply upload it to anywhere within your public_html directory and it will be executed when going to the URL. For a facebook app, you just need to point the canvas URL to the page on your site.

For example, if you wrote the following code:

<?php
    echo "This is where my facebook app will go";
?>

and your site was Myfacebookapp.com, upload the file to public_html/facebook.php and your canvas URL would be www .myfacebookapp.com/facebook.php

You'll want to take a look at the Facebook authentication for PHP and/or Javascript. That part is a bit more challenging. Here's a tutorial: How to Authenticate Users With Facebook Connect | Nettuts+
