An object type is like a "table" in SQL terminology, or a "class" in object-oriented programming concepts. Each object type has a unique human-readable "name" that will be used to identify itself throughout the API. Each object type also has a list of properties that one has to define individually. Each property is like a "column" in an SQL table, or a "data member" in an object class.

[edit] Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	api_key	The application key associated with the calling application.
string	session_key	The session key of the logged in user.
float	call_id	The request's sequence number. Each successive call for any session must use a sequence number greater than the last. We suggest using the current time in milliseconds, such as PHP's microtime(true) function.
string	sig	An MD5 hash of the current request and your secret key, as described in the authentication guide.
string	v	This must be set to 1.0 to use this version of the API.
string	format	Optional - desired response format. Either "XML" (default) or "JSON".
string	callback	Optional - wrap the response inside a function call. This is primarily to enable cross-domain javascript requests using the <script> tag, sometimes known as "JSONP". This works with both XML and JSON.
string	name	Name of this new object type. This name needs to be unique among all object types and associations defined for this application. This name also needs to be a valid identifier, which is no longer than 32 characters, starting with a letter (a-z) and consisting of only small letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and/or underscores.

[edit] PHP Client Coding Examples

First, get the latest version of the Facebook PHP API implementation.

wget http://developers.facebook.com/clientlibs/facebook-platform.tar.gz
tar zxvf facebook-platform.tar.gz
cp facebook-platform/client/facebook.php .
cp facebook-platform/client/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php .
rm -rf facebook-platform.tar.gz facebook-platform

<?php
$facebook = new Facebook($key,$secret);
$str = foo_gen_name();
$facebook->api_client->call_method('facebook.data.createObjectType', array('name'=>$str));
//or $facebook->api_client->data_createObjectType($str);
unset($facebook);
?>

<?php
require_once 'facebook.php';

$appapikey = 'ce132c2084f5b73e771f8042e43a4977';
$appsecret = '38228e02638eb2a11ca34c5c618a9f02';
$facebook = new Facebook($appapikey, $appsecret);
$user = $facebook->require_login();

//[todo: change the following url to your callback url]
$appcallbackurl = 'http://www.simpsonizeme.com/home.php?auth_token=abc123';	

//catch the exception that gets thrown if the cookie has an invalid session_key in it
try {
  if (!$facebook->api_client->users_isAppAdded()) {
    $facebook->redirect($facebook->get_add_url());
  }
} catch (Exception $ex) {
  //this will clear cookies for your application and redirect them to a login prompt
  $facebook->set_user(null, null);
  $facebook->redirect($appcallbackurl);
}
?>

<?php
require_once 'appinclude.php';
echo "<p>hello $user</p>";
?>
