Answer 1

Please note that the The Surrican's answer (and possibly others) can drastically increase your script's response time (around +500ms for me on my server). This is because the server issues a request to facebook (because of get_headers()) and the execution time (computation excluded) extends from this:

• browser -> server
• server -> browser

to this:

• browser -> server
• server -> facebook (request: get_headers)
• facebook -> server (response: get_headers)
• server -> browser

This adds the mentioned 500ms delay. You probably should consider to cache the real url on your server or to load the profile picture via JavaScript. At least take a look at your response time before and after ;)
