facebook publish stream

I know this question has come up before but all the solutions are outdated given
the new facebook php sdk.

I have an application that allows app users to upload images. I've got that down

But after the user uploads an image I want a message to be published to their stream.

without $fb->api_client->publish_stream( ...) which is depreciated. I can't for the life of me get this to work with $fb->api( ... )

I have all the right permissions etc so that is not the issue.

I've tried

$facebook->api($uid."/feed","GET",array('message'=>'hello mesage'))

Select allOpen in new window

which on the var_dump of the return is

 array(1) { ["data"] => array(0) { }}

Select allOpen in new window

I've looked at just about every page regarding publish stream on facebook but nothing

I want to do this server side so I'd prefer not to use the javascript SDK

does anyone know how this works or knows of a current example?
