The REST API has been deprecated. To make FQL queries you should use the Graph API. To do so, just issue an HTTP GET request to https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q= and provide your FQL statement as the value of the q parameter. For more info, check out the FQL documentation. You can use the Graph API Explorer to easily test FQL queries.

You can add a parameter format=json to get result in json format. So the url will be

https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=fql&format=json&access_token=t

By default format is xml.

PHP has built in json support. See json_decode manual.

And if you are wondering how to run FQL from PHP - it was just asked.
