php code

$APPID='14017XXXXXXXXXX';
$APPSECRET='7702362a5f6d605882f1beXXXXXXXXXX';
$action="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=".$APPID."&client_secret=".$APPSECRET."&grant_type=client_credentials" ;
$ch = curl_init($action);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT , 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1');
$r=curl_exec($ch);
$access_token=substr($r,13);
//echo $access_token; // echo 14017XXXXXXXXXX|LdTccOQAcHWrT2RCwXXXXXXXXXX
curl_close($ch);    
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://graph.facebook.com/search?access_token=".$access_token."&q=sashimi&limit=20&type=page&scope=publish_stream,offline_access,user_status,read_stream");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $curlPost);
$body = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$status_list = json_decode($body,true);
foreach ($status_list['data'] as $status_list) {   
 echo $status_list['id'];
}

json tree:

{
   "data": [
      {

         "category": "Food/beverages",
         "id": "61615549874"
      },

   }

The problem is you are doing a post request but for search you need to do a get request. Curl response also showing that.

{"error":{"type":"GraphMethodException","message":"Unsupported post request."}

Just remove line curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);. It will work and it worked for me :).
