[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 the association to set.
int64 obj_id1 Object identifier 1.
int64 obj_id2 Object identifier 2.
string data Optional - An arbitrary data (max. 255 characters) to store with this association.
integer assoc_time Optional - Default to association creation time. A timestamp to store with this association. This timestamp is represented as number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT).

[edit] Return Value

[edit] PHP Client Coding Examples

From the advanced demo, this creates an association between a restaurant (Object ID) and a user ID - then it uses the data field to store the rating. 

$facebook->api_client->data_setAssociation('reviewed_by_user', $restaurant, $user, $rating);
