What with it being lunchtime I did some searching on this. Apparently phstamp was recently introduced by FaceBook (note, I'm not a FaceBook user) to verify each request. I suspect they don't want you automating FaceBook via such methods, I'm pretty sure they'd have something in their conditions of use against such behaviour.	[reply]

Googling for "Facebook phstamp" seems to suggest that it should be reasonably easy to generate that phstamp value: CRACKED Facebook's phstamp `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]

Guys my problem is resolved and we don't need to find exact phstamp to update those attributes since phstamp is something which gets generated with response, so a normal random number can be used as phstamp, since i guess it's something which is generated at client end and server doesn't have its record. Server only seeks for this attribute at the time of update.	[reply]
