Facebook API

So I thought it was about time I checked out Facebook. I don't know why I chose that particular site. There seems to be a new surge in web 2.0, in which it's now possible to program your blogs and sites. Integrating services that exist all over the internet, into little mini plugins. So I have spent an entire evening attempting the Facebook API tutorial. The hardest part was finding a free host that supported PHP version 5. I finaly found one at ByetHost2 The major issue was none of them specified which version of PHP they had installed so I had to sign-up all of them and upload a phpinfo.php file to discover nearly all are still stuck on 4.2 !!!

Anyway having finally got a host on the right version, I completed the tutorial. But, it doesn't work and I am disappointed. It is almost tomorrow and time for bed.
