How to get the token from a request done with Paypal rest-api-sdk-php library

I am using rest-api-sdk-php to make requests to Paypal. When I execute a request it looks something like this: 

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=EC-74C74934GB935960F"

I need to retrieve the token that is used to sign the request.

Is there a method in the library to get this token?

Here's the PayPal REST API SDK c# code, you'll need to translate it to PHP.

Dictionary<String, String> sdkConfig = new Dictionary<String, String>();
sdkConfig.Add("mode", "sandbox"); // when you're live, change "sandbox" to "live"
String oAuthAccessTokenForPayPal
 = new PayPal.OAuthTokenCredential(yourClientID, yourSecret,
                                   sdkConfig).GetAccessToken();

PayPal calls your password your "secret".

https://developer.paypal.com/ ... you'll need a PayPal merchant account, and a pair of id/secret for sandbox testing and a second pair for when you go live.

also, each part of your PayPal code must be wrapped with try/catch if you want your code to be robust.
