graph api is not returning users details suddenly for me. (might be from today)

Question

It is web base application. The first page is asking for login. Once they click the login button, everything is going on with ajax.

In the ajax request,

 $user = $facebook->getUser();

This is giving proper user id.

 if ($user) {
    try {
        $fbme = $facebook->api('/me');
        $user_id = $fbme['id'];
    } 
    catch (FacebookApiException $e) {           
         error_log($e);
         $user = null;
    }
}

The below line was working before. Now it is end in the catch block. So I am not able the user details.

What could be the problem? Since I didn't make changes in the script so far, It is suddenly stopped working.

If its ending in the catch block, atleast show us the error you are logging. — Hugo Delsing, Dec 07 '12 at 13:19
This is the error : An active access token must be used to query information about the current user — Mahesh, Dec 07 '12 at 13:22
Why this line is not working? $fbme = $facebook->api('/me'); — Mahesh, Dec 07 '12 at 13:26
I didn't create / change anything. It was actually working. Today only I am facing this problem. — Mahesh, Dec 07 '12 at 13:30

It was a facebook bug. They fixed it last night. If you update your facebook php SDK it will work.

You access token may be out of date, I suggest something like this:

try {
    $data['user_profile'] = $profile = $this->facebook->api('/me');

    }catch (Exception $e){
       $this->facebook->setAccessToken($this->facebook->getAccessToken());
    try {

        if($this->facebook->getUser()) {
        $this->facebook->api(array('method' =>'auth.revokeAuthorization' ));
       }

    }catch(Exception $e) {
        redirect(...);
    }
    redirect(...);
    }
