Just a heads up for anyone stumbling across this question using v2 0 of the Graph API  This will not work anymore  In v2 0  calling  me friends only returns a list the person s friends who also use the app         A user access token with user friends permission is required to view the current person s friends    This will only return any friends who have used  via Facebook Login  the app making the request    If a friend of the person declines the user friends permission  that friend will not show up in the friend list for this person

Getting the friends like  nfvs describes is a good way  It outputs a multi-dimensional array with all friends with attributes id and name  ordered by id   You can see the friends photos like this   foreach   friends as  key  gt  value        echo count  value      Friends       echo   lt hr   gt        echo   lt ul id  friends  gt        foreach   value as  fkey  gt  fvalue            echo   lt li gt  lt img src  https   graph facebook com      fvalue- gt id     picture  title       fvalue- gt name       gt  lt  li gt              echo   lt  ul gt
