(PHP ActiveX) HMRC OAuth2 Access Token

Demonstrates how to get an HMRC OAuth2 access token from a desktop (installed) application or script. This example gets an HMRC MTD VAT read/write access token.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

// This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.
// Important: Make sure the callback URI in your HMRC developer app 
// is exactly "http://localhost:3017/".  Don't forget the ending "/" char.
// The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.

// IMPORTANT: Don't forget to setup your HMRC application to use the Redirect URI "http://localhost:3017/" as shown
// here: Configure Redirect URI for HMRC application
