I read the README.txt from start to finish, but I am not sure where to obtain the PHP4 Client Library.

The library at http://svn.facebook.com/svnroot/platform/clients/packages/facebook-platf... does not seem to have PHP4 components. Is PHP4 still required for the Drupal 5 version of this module? If so, where can I obtain it? And where should I install Simplexml?

Thanks very much for your work on an _extremely_ important module!

Title: PHP4 » PHP4 gone from facebook-platform?

Months ago facebook made a bunch of changes to their design and API, including requiring PHP5. Maybe you could get an old version of the php from facebook's svn repository, and maybe it would still function - at least parts of it. But its a bad idea. Just use PHP5 and the latest API.

Thanks! I'd certainly rather use PHP 5 and the updated Facebook API. I was confused by the documentation at http://drupal.org/node/195035 , which says

note that even if you are running PHP5, Drupal for Facebook uses the PHP4 facebook client API by default, because of problem with uncaught exceptions

Maybe the docs there should be updated? I'm not familiar enough with the module to do so. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for pointing that out. I removed the information specific to php4 from those pages.
