$me = $facebook->api('/me'); returns empty string

Question

This piece of code used to work as expected, but now it seems i can't retrieve the user name the same way:

 $uid = $facebook->getUser(); // returns the facebook id of the user
 $me = $facebook->api('/me'); // returns empty. why?

Due some facebook api updates i had to change the getSession from:

$session = $facebook->getUser();

to

$session = $facebook->getUser()>0;

So how to retrieve the user name in facebook?

So how to retrieve the user name in facebook?

What about this :

$pageContent = file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/USERID');
$parsedJson  = json_decode($pageContent);
echo $parsedJson->name;

Facebook use CURL for send request to server, maybe curl on your server not work or curl_exec is disabled
