How to use cURL on facebook graph api request

Question

I get info in facebook graph api using file_get_contents ()

but sometimes I get an error.

I found out that cURL should be used instead of file_get_contents ().

The problem is that I do not know how to use cURL with the URL that I need to pass.

if i converted

file_get_contents($graph_url); 

in cURL, what will be the code?

here is the contents of $ graph_url

 $graph_url= "https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos?" . "url=" . urlencode($photo_url) . "&message=" . urlencode('') . "&method=POST" . "&access_token=" .$access_token;

  $graph_url= "https://graph.facebook.com/me/photos"; $postData = "url=" . urlencode($photo_url) . "&message=" . urlencode('') . "&access_token=" .$access_token; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $graph_url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); $output = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);
