title: Facebook api - PHP / Javascript and OpenGraph
body: <p>I'm very confused so I hope that my question will make sense.</p>
  
  <p>I'm working with the facebook API, and so far I've implemented login and a post to the users wall via php. I know read a bit more about the OpenGraph system, and the meta tags that you're supposed to put in your site, but I'm not quite grasping the concept og how to get my site fully PHP integrated with Facebook.</p>
  
  <p>I have another login system which I've hooked facebook up to, so switching to javascript only will not be an option. Do the meta tags even matter if I use PHP only. I mean, I can't really get my head around how the token and all of that would be interpreted alongside the og: metatags if there is no javascript on the site. </p>
  
  <p>Can I have BOTH php and javascript authentication? What's all that fuzz about opengraph anyway?</p>
  
  <p>These are my thoughts about working with facebook, and if you'd like me to summarize this up in one question I guess it'd be: </p>
  
  <p><strong>How do I benefit from the opengraph meta tag features (tracking the users, in their timeline) when I'm only connected via PHP?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm confused about how the tags for specific open graph actions get interpreted like </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta property="fb:app_id"      content="xxxxxxxxxx" /&gt; 
    &lt;meta property="og:type"        content="myapp:read" /&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then it's supposed to post "MyName is reading lalala" or "MyName read lalala". How's the post to the server going on (if people have already authenticated via php):) ?</p>
