    Without using curl:
    include "facebook.php";
    if ($_POST['boton'] == "Public" ){
    $estado=$_POST['publicar'];
    $propiedades=array('message' => $estado);
    $facebook->api('/me/feed','post',$propiedades);
    }
    o api('/facebook_id/feed'

    @UrbaN77
    Facebook Official PHP SDK you mentioned also uses cURL to interact with their API.

    @Tamada
    There is a small syntax glitch in the code you provided for update.php at around line 12.

    Code no longer posts to facebook i think you need permission to the app which this code does not make the app do.
