How to Upload a Photo to a Facebook Page's Timeline as the Facebook Page itself, Not to the user feed

Question

OK so the cod below basically works fine, WHEN this line is like this:

$post_url = '/'.$userPageId.'/feed';

This successfully posts to the Facebook Page Timeline. But I want to upload a photo, and when I change this line to

$post_url = '/'.$userPageId.'/photos';

It posts the photo... but it posts to the User Feed, instead of AS the Facebook Page.

I want this to post the photo to the Facebook Page Timeline

[config.php]

<?php
include_once("inc/facebook.php");

##################################
//Call Facebook API

// Required facebook permissions
$fbPermissions = 'publish_stream,manage_pages,photo_upload';

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
  'appId'  => $appId,

$fbuser = $facebook->getUser();
?>

    $userMessage         = $_POST["message"];

    if(strlen($userMessage)<1) 
    {
            //message is empty
            $userMessage = 'No message was entered!';
    }

    //HTTP POST request to PAGE_ID/feed with the publish_stream
    $post_url = '/'.$userPageId.'/photos';

    //posts message on page statues 
    $msg_body = array(
        'source' => '@' . 'test.jpg',                   
        'message' => "yo yo yo",
    );

    if ($fbuser) {
        try {

        } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {

If you want to act as the Facebook Page and upload a photo as such, you'll need:

1. To be an Admin on the Facebook Page
2. At least the following scopes when getting authorizations: 'manage_pages', 'photo_upload'
3. The access token as the Facebook Page, NOT as the User who is the Admin

You can fetch the access tokens of the Facebook Pages you are Admin of by calling the Open Graph API:

$accounts = $facebook->api('/me/accounts','GET');

In order to get the access token and any more information, you need the 'manage_pages' permission.

Once you have the access token, you'll need to use it and re-initialize a client with it. Then you can essentially act as it, and post a photo as it. Hopefully this will be enough to get you started. Your code looks set up to be able to upload the photo to where you want it to be. It's all a matter of the access token.

Edit:

You can set the access token with the PHP SDK with setAccessToken:

// Set a new access token, by first getting it via means other than the SDK
$facebook->setAccessToken($new_access_token);
