Getting Facebooks' Cover Photo via PHP SDK & G

Question

I'd like to know if there is a simple way of retrieving the Cover photo from a user in my application, via the facebook php sdk.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like at this stage, pending updated documentation from facebook, that your method is the only "sure fire" way to retrieve the cover of a users timeline.
If you find this method to be slow or inefficient - maybe you could try running it as a cron job and having a minimal update delay.. eg. run the cron twice a day (maybe even more), maybe handle two or three users at a time and have the cron running every 2 minutes... Not a solution per-say; more of a suggestion.
