I think there is a problem with the quickstart for PHP.
Someone with access to the Nation's resources will have to visit that url in a browser, accept the application and retrieve the authorization code from the page url. That page url will look something like:
GET http://yourapp.example.com/oauth_callback?code=123456abcdefUse the code to generate an access token:
But it doesn't make sense, this a program, not a person accessing a browser and getting the code. How can I get the code
using PHP, not someone visiting the url in a browser?

The process this is describing is the admin workflow for authenticating the application with the nation. We have example code for authenticating with PHP in our API documentation.

```
$client = new OAuth2\Client($clientId, $clientSecret);
$baseApiUrl = ‘https://foobar.nationbuilder.com’;
$client->setAccessToken($token);
$response = $client->fetch($baseApiUrl . ‘/api/v1/people’);
print_r($response);
```
If Nation Builder want us to get the token this convoluted way, it needs to be documented better.
