Getting user info after login for facebook application

Question

Hi,

I have written a small piece to get the user to login :

 <?php

include_once ('facebook.php');
  $api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx';
  $secret  = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx';
  global $facebook;
  $facebook = new Facebook($api_key, $secret);
  $facebook->require_frame();

#Ask user to login if not logged in
$is_tab = isset($_POST['fb_sig_in_profile_tab']);
if( !$is_tab ){
    $uid = $facebook->require_login($required_permissions = 'email,status_update,offline_access');
}
else{
    $uid = $facebook->get_profile_user();
}

I need to retrieve the users info once I have the uid. Unfortunately I cannot find the api calls for it and there is a no IDE for facebook :(. Can anyone point me to the api's or give me here. I want to get users username, city, zipcode.

I coudnt get this to work : facebook.Schema.user user = api.users.getInfo();
I think it is for the new API lib.

Thanks.

P.S: I am not using graph APIs, because I found them to be poorly documented and I got stuck with them for a while so decided to abandon them atleast for now.

You can get it like this:

$user_info = $facebook->api_client->users_getInfo($uid, "name, city, zipcode");
print_r($user_info);
