How to get an OAuth 2.0 token in PHP?

I need to connect to a REST API of a customer. The first step is to get an OAuth 2.0 access token. I got the following information from the customer:

I found code at http://tutorialspage.com/simple-oauth2-example-using-php-curl/ and changed it, just for testing, to this:

private function getToken() {

    $curl = curl_init();

    $params = array(
        CURLOPT_URL =>  self::API_TOKEN_URL,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
        CURLOPT_POST => 1,
        CURLOPT_NOBODY => false,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
            "cache-control: no-cache",
            "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
            "accept: *",
            "accept-encoding: gzip, deflate",
        ),
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
            'username' => urlencode('[email protected]'),
            'password' => urlencode('123 and 4'),
            'grant_type' => 'password'
        )
    );

    curl_setopt_array($curl, $params);
    // test
      //curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
      //curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, '[email protected]'.':'.'123 and 4');

    $response = curl_exec($curl);
    $err = curl_error($curl);

    curl_close($curl);

    if ($err) {
        echo "cURL Error #01: " . $err;
    } else {
        $response = json_decode($response, true);
        if(array_key_exists("access_token", $response)) return $response;
        if(array_key_exists("error", $response)) echo $response["error_description"];
        echo "cURL Error #02: Something went wrong! Please contact admin.";
    }
}

I would expect to get a JSON response containing valid OAuth 2.0 access_token, but instead I get an error:

{"error":"unsupported_grant_type"}

How to change the code to make it work?

Edit: It works over the shell-curl on my mac:

  curl -i \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -d 'grant_type=password&[email protected]&password=123 and 4' \
  https://the-token-api-url.foo

OK, thanks to Helen it works now.

private function getToken(){
    $curl = curl_init();

    $params = [
        CURLOPT_URL =>  self::API_TOKEN_URL,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,

        CURLOPT_POST => 1,
        CURLOPT_NOBODY => false,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
            "cache-control: no-cache",
            "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
            "accept: */*",
            "accept-encoding: gzip, deflate",
        ),
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "grant_type=password&[email protected]&password=123and4"
    ];

    curl_setopt_array($curl, $params);
    $response = curl_exec($curl);

    curl_close($curl);
}

The Problem was solved as I entered the Post Data as String: CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "grant_type=password&[email protected]&password=123and4" Instead of a array:

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
            'username' => urlencode('[email protected]'),
            'password' => urlencode('123and4'),
            'grant_type' => 'password'
        )

Thanks <3!
