Using the Facebook Graph API and the PHP SDK, I know that I can get the user interests with

$facebook->api("/me/interests")

However, assuming that I have the permission to, how can I get the user’s About data?

$facebook->api("/me/about")
//gives error:
Fatal error: Uncaught OAuthException: Unknown path components: /about thrown in 
[...]/base_facebook.php on line 1028

How can I get the logged in user’s Facebook About data? Thanks.

EDIT: Here’s a picture of the app permissions, as well as the code used to request the permissions.

The Permissions for My App

$login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array( 'scope' => 'email, publish_stream, 
user_about_me, user_interests, user_education_history'));

    Depends what ‘about’ information you want? You can specify individual fields but there is no overall about command to get all about information. Just go

    $info = $facebook->api('/me?fields=id,email,work');

    You can get a full list of what you can request plus further commands from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/

    Edit, if you are wanting the bio just add ‘,bio’ to the fields
