simple facebook graph api call not working on live server but working on localhost

i am trying to get the number of facebook shares for my website link, using facebook graph api call, for this i have written the below code:

  $url = "http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.example.com/";
  $content = file_get_contents($url);
  $json = json_decode($content, true);
  if (isset($json["shares"]) && $json["shares"] >= 1) {
     echo "Thanks for sharing";
  } else {
     echo "sorry, you have not yet shared my link.";
  }

the above code works perfect on my localhost, but when i tried the same code, it always print me sorry, you have not yet shared my link, even when i shared it on facebook.

please help, what i need to do more.. so that it works on live server too.. thanks in advance
