Capturing Facebook Atom feed via PHP cURL

I have been working on how to retrieve the RSS feed of our company Facebook page for inclusion in our website. Thanks to the answer by Francois Deschenes on a Stack Overflow topic, I have the beginnings of a functional solution:

$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=111111111111111"); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,5);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, array('User-Agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Safari/534.45'));
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);

if (empty($buffer))
    {
    print "Sorry, request failed.";
    }
else
    {

    (do stuff with the feed)

           }

I will update this posting as this project progresses.
