get other user feed using facebook php sdk

I am trying to get other users feed in PHP using Facebook Graph API PHP sdk, but with no success.

i got my feed properly using 

 $request = new FacebookRequest(
  $session,
  'GET',
  '/me/feed'
);
$response = $request->execute();
$graphObject = $response->getGraphObject();

But i trying to get other user feed like

$request = new FacebookRequest(
  $session,
  'GET',
  '/534551234549753/feed'
);
$response = $request->execute();
$graphObject = $response->getGraphObject();

is return me this blank response

Facebook\GraphObject Object
(
    [backingData:protected] => Array
        (
        )

)

is there any way to get other user's feed ?

You can only read the feed of a user if he authorized your App. And you can only get his feed with his very own User Access Token.

Since you will not get read_stream approved at all, i suggest using the new user_posts permission: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_3

But again: You can ONLY get the feed of the authorized user, not from anyone else. That would be a major privacy issue.

A look in the Facebook docs might have saved you the time for writing your question:

You can read other user's feeds if you have an app which requests the appropriate permissions during OAuth login:

Permissions

Any valid access token is required to view public links. If the app has been granted the read_stream or user_posts permission the app can read:

  • The user's posts on their own Timeline.
  • The posts others have made on the user's Timeline.
  • The posts others have tagged the user in.
