Facebook API is not working properly

Question

I am using graph api provided by Facebook. It is not working as I want it to. I am using this api to import user's photos to my website. But I am not able to import them. Infact I can Import the images from the user account in which I have created the app. But from any other accounts I am not able to import images. My Index file is as below:

index.php

<?php

            </table>
        </form>
<?php }?>

 <?php 
    if(isset($_POST['copy']))
    {<My Code After importing Images>}
?>

Can anyone tell me what is the problem?

FYI: I have not submitted my app for the review yet.

Thank you,

Update: There is one update I found. In one user account (In which I have created app) is is asking for user's authorization for public profile as well as for photos. But in another user account it is asking for the user's authorization for only user's public profile.

Answer 1

if your application, as you say, is new, you need to undergo the Facebook review first. The fact that the user permissions the apps asks you (the developer) are different than those the app asks other users, means that those permissions are only available to you, for testing. Once you test each action, and submit it for review, and the action is approved, that action will be available to other users.

In order to submit the action for review, you need to test that action on your account. If the application doesn't even let you, the developer, test the action you want to implement for every user, then it won't be possible for the Facebook staff to review your application, and the actions (and permissions) it requires to work.

Todo this, visit https://developers.facebook.com, click on Apps, select your app, click on "Status & Review" (on the left), sroll down the page, click on "Submit items for approval", submit the permission required to get the photos of a user, explain why your app needs it, how it uses it, provide examples and screen shots.

If approved, that feature will be live for your app, and available not only to you, but to anyone. These changes went live on April 30th 2014. You can read more here, especially where it says

In order for your app to access additional elements of a person's Facebook profile (read permissions) or to publish content to Facebook on their behalf (write permissions), you will need to submit for review

I hope this help.
