What is the main issue the user is facing when trying to post a Facebook event via PHP?

The main issue the user is facing is likely with the access token used to authenticate the Facebook API request. To solve this issue, the user needs to make sure they are generating a valid access token with the necessary permissions to create events on Facebook. 

// Define the user access token with the necessary permissions
$access_token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN';

// Define the event details
$event_params = array(
  'name' => 'Sample Event',
  'start_time' => '2022-01-01T12:00:00',
  'end_time' => '2022-01-01T14:00:00',
  'description' => 'Join us for a sample event!',
  'location' => 'Sample Location',
  'access_token' => $access_token
);

// Make a POST request to create the event
$response = file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/{your-page-id}/events', false, stream_context_create(array(
  'http' => array(
    'method' => 'POST',
    'header' => 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'content' => http_build_query($event_params)
  )
));

// Decode the response to get the event ID
$event_id = json_decode($response, true)['id'];

// Output the event ID
echo 'Event created with ID: ' . $event_id;
