Publish to facebook stream in PHP

I've been trying to accomplish stream publishing with this JS method:

function streamPublish(name, description, hrefTitle, hrefLink, userPrompt){
    FB.ui(
    {
        method: 'stream.publish',
        message: '',
        attachment: {
            name: name,
            caption: '',
            description: (description),
            href: hrefLink
        },
        action_links: [
            { text: hrefTitle, href: hrefLink }
        ],
        user_prompt_message: userPrompt
    },
    function(response) {

    });
}

but it never works on Internet Explorer. How can I achieve this same result (or whatever result would be considered "standard" for a facebook application posting to a user's stream) in PHP? The facebook API documentation is poor and doesn't include many code examples.

As of June 3rd, the API call should include the access_token. So be careful to include 'access_token' => ACCESS_TOKEN, in the $attachment array.

@med: Med, have you checked if your image is publicly accessible (i.e. not served by your machine in an intranet)?. It seems like the image can't be accessed.

Use the api function from the Facebook PHP SDK like this:

$facebook->api('/$USER_ID/feed', 'POST', $attachment);

Where $attachment is an object built this way:

$attachment = array(
'message' => MESSAGE,
            'name' => TITLE,
            'link' => URL,
            'description' => DESC,
'picture'=> IMAGE,
    );

You can check other kind of params to pass with the attachment on the facebook developers website
