This issue is caused by Instagram's inconsistent pagination return type. It's fixed in version 2.1. As @C-onnor pointed out, there is actually a follow count bug.

I would like to tell you that I was trying your above code to get list of followers and am testing the same on http://reviewitapp.co/prak/instagramPHP/example but instead of getting any list of followers I get "Your username is: thuglifesingh" and the rest of the page is blank? What's the reason? Is it because the code has some issue?

Thanks for the snippet!

Is there a way to get the list of followers of a specific user id?
