Auto post on facebook page as page admin with sdk4 (graph api)

I try to post to my facebook page via a website as the page admin. But I just can do that with my personnal account .

This is my code :

private $fb_api;
private $fb_secret;
private $fb_redirect = 'index.php/admin/ajout_actualite';
private $fb_helper;
private $fb_scopes   = array(/*'publish_actions', 'email', */'create_event', 'manage_pages', 'publish_stream');
private $fb_session;


$data = $this->config->item('facebook')['key'];

$this->fb_redirect = base_url($this->fb_redirect);



    $this->fb_api       = $this->config->item('facebook')['key'];
    $this->fb_secret    = $this->config->item('facebook')['secret'];
    FacebookSession::setDefaultApplication($this->config->item('facebook')['key'], $this->config->item('facebook')['secret']);

    $this->fb_helper = new FacebookRedirectLoginHelper($this->fb_redirect);   
    if ( $this->session->userdata('access_token') ) {
        $this->fb_session = new FacebookSession( $this->session->userdata('access_token') );
        // Validate the access_token to make sure it's still valid
        try {
            if ( ! $this->fb_session->validate() ) {
                $this->fb_session = false;
            }
        } catch ( Exception $e ) {
            // Catch any exceptions
            $this->fb_session = false;
        }
    }

And this is how I post on the page :

$loginUrl = $this->fb_helper->getLoginUrl($this->fb_scopes);       

    if($this->input->get('code') != null) {
        $s = file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=".$this->fb_api."&redirect_uri=".urlencode($this->fb_redirect)."&client_secret=".$this->fb_secret."&code=".$this->input->get('code'));      

        $s = parse_str($s, $out);//var_dump($s);
        $this->session->set_userdata(array("access_token" => $out['access_token']));
    }else if($this->session->userdata('access_token') == NULL) {
        redirect($loginUrl);
    }

    if($this->fb_session != null){

    $response = (new FacebookRequest(
            $this->fb_session, 'POST', '/XXXXXXXX/feed', array(
                'name' => 'This is drop da bit',
                'caption' => "I love you baby",
                'link' => 'http://lesjoiesducode.fr/',
                'message' => 'Unicorn 1 - 0 Facebook'
                )

))->execute()->getGraphObject()->asArray(); }

I hope someone will can help me :), i've read 4-5 topics but there are in majority on the previous sdk :/

Thanks in advance for your help.

You are using the user access token with the call /{page-id}/feed that's why the post is published on behalf of the user.

To post on behalf of the page itself, you have to use the page access token. To get the page access token, add the permission manage_pages first to the login scope then make the call- 

/{page-id}?fields=access_token

this will give you the page access token. To use this token with the /{page-id}/feed call just pass an additional parameter access_token with other parameters.
