curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$output = curl_exec($ch);
$data = json_decode($output, true);
$token = $data['result']['token'];

curl_close($ch);      
print_r($output);

//Login
$accessKey = md5($token . 'your-access-key');

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://app.abms.co/webservice.php?operation=login');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '[email protected]&accessKey=' . $accessKey);
