Convert Ruby Code To PHP (Vicurex API)

I'm stuck trying to convert some sample Ruby API code from https://vircurex.com/welcome/api?locale=en to PHP. Here is the Ruby Code provided:

t = Time.now.gmtime.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S");
trx_id = Digest::SHA2.hexdigest("#{t}-#{rand}")
user_name = "MY_USER_NAME"
secret_word = "123456789"
tok = Digest::SHA2.hexdigest("#{secret_word};#{user_name};#{t};#{trx_id};create_order;sell;10;btc;50;nmc")
Order.call_https("https://vircurex.com", "/api/create_order.json?account=#{user_name}&id=#{trx_id}&token=#{tok}&timestamp=#{t}&ordertype=sell&amount=10&currency1=btc&unitprice=50&currency2=nmc")

def self.call_https(my_url,my_params)
  uri = URI.parse(my_url)
  http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, '443')
  http.use_ssl = true
  http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
  response=""
  resp=""
  http.start do |http|
    cmd = my_params
    req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(cmd)
    response = http.request(req)
    resp = response.body
  end
  return ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(resp)
end

Here is what I attempted to come up with so far in PHP, but i know nothing of Ruby, so it is hard to figure out what the original code is doing:

date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
$t = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time());
$trx_id = hash("sha256", $t."-".rand()); // i think this is wrong
$user_name = "MY_USER_NAME";
$secret_word = "123456789";
$tok = hash("sha256", $secret_word.";".$user_name.";".$t.";".$trx_id.";create_order;sell;10;btc;50;nmc");
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://vircurex.com/api/create_order.json?account=$username&id=$trx_id&token=$tok&timestamp=$t&ordertype=sell&amount=10&currency1=btc&unitprice=50&currency2=nmc");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
$resp = curl_exec($ch);
return json_decode($resp);

Can someone familiar with both languages please help me out? Thanks!

I get the following response with my code:

stdClass Object
(
    [status] => 8003
    [statustxt] => Authentication failed
)

So obviously, something is not being translated correctly. I just need to generate some working PHP code to use with the API listed. You can create an account to test the code if you like.

The problem is on two lines:

First, change this line:

$t = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time());

to:

$t = date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s", time());

And second, fix this:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://vircurex.com/api/create_order.json?account=$username&id=$trx_id&token=$tok&timestamp=$t&ordertype=sell&amount=10&currency1=btc&unitprice=50&currency2=nmc");

by changing $username param into $user_name:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://vircurex.com/api/create_order.json?account=$user_name&id=$trx_id&token=$tok&timestamp=$t&ordertype=sell&amount=10&currency1=btc&unitprice=50&currency2=nmc");

I successfully received a valid response from Vircurex with another API call, as the create_order API is currently disabled as reported on Vircurex site. In any case, I've had no authentication problems.
