I'm trying to retrieve data using the new graph API, however the token I'm retriving from OAuth doesn't appear to be working.

The call I'm making is as follows;

$token = file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?type=client_cred&client_id=<app_id>&client_secret=<app secret>');

This returns a token with a string length of 41. To give you an example of what is returned I have provided below a sample (converted all numbers to 0, all capital letters to 'A' and small case letters to 'a'

access_token=000000000000|AaaAaaAaaAAaAaaaaAaaAa0aaAA.

I take this access token and attach it to the call request for data, it doesn't appear to be the correct token as it returns nothing. I make the data call as follows;

file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/<my_page's_id>/statuses?access_token=000000000000|AaaAaaAaaAAaAaaaaAaaAa0aaAA.')

When I manually retrieve this page directly through the browser I get an 500/Internal Server Error Message.

Any assistance would be grately appreciated.
