all I want is to refresh the value of a handle ref, so people can see fresh info in the profile.

has anyone here tried this? with or without success?

for the record, facebook's dev documentation is horrid

Figure anything out yet? I'm not sure how many people have experimented with facebook apps here yet; it doesn't seem like many.

no success yet. The way facebook caches my app's output prevents me from showing fresh material. The commands that reportedly refresh that content are not doing what they claim to do. So far I've only been able to find obtuse half-explanations with examples that don't work when I implement them.

I can't possibly be the only PHP guy trying to build a facebook app...

(bump)

it's not just setRefHandle
none of the API functions are working for me.

I've been hacking into the PHP4 library fixing all sorts of little bugs... at last now I've got a proper CURL request happening but the "signature" checksum of my request is not correct.

this is ridiculous. their api is lovely, but this PHP library is buggy as all getout!

I find it hard to believe that no one here in the PHP forum has tried this
