Facebook Sharer PHP application redirect

Following a successful share on Facebook with URL 

https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cars.com

a user is redirected to 

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/return/close?#_=_

How can we set the redirect_uri without creating a facebook application?

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog contains no references to https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php

There's no references, because sharer.php is a legacy script, not supported officially any more. // Don't be scared, creating apps doesn't hurt. So overcome your fears, and use the Share Dialog. - CBroe
Furher explained, Facebook wouldn't allow me to create a separate account in order to create an application id, utilizing my phone number as the 2nd verification because it is already inked. . I will add administrators through developers.facebook.com - sammarcow
You’re not supposed to create multiple accounts for app development. You are only allowed to have one personal account, and it must be a “real” one (for example using a fake name can easily get the account blocked, and then you’ll have trouble getting access to your app back.) - CBroe
The purpose was to separate work account from personal facebook account. - sammarcow

  1. Create an application id APP_ID by navigating to developers.facebook.com.

  2. Create GET Request. Ex: request to developers.facebook.com redirecting to www.aol.com
