Update Facebook status externally using PHP with username and password of an User

Question

Is it possibile to update the status of facebook externally using a user's username and password with PHP. without any user interaction(like facebook connect). Also without using curl. I know there are come facebook mobile clients like snaptu. how do they access inbox, wall and our status just knowing the username and password.?? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I don't know what you have against cURL, but you can do this with any HTTP client that can handle cookie (or that you can roll cookie support for).

However you should not even remotely consider doing this! Unless it's for a hacky script that will never leave your computer and that you use for your own account. You should never be asking for other peoples' passwords. Use OAuth.
