Answer 1

First of all, check it out @ PHP.net

Second, you will have to use setopt for the -H, -u, -d options.

<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token");

//Here you will have to add your options, I think this code will bring you far :-)
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,FALSE);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>
