Multiple API calls - many curl reponses - php

Question

I am probably barking at the wrong tree and I will need so pointing into correct direction. I am building WIFI portal. In essence:
User puts details in.
Details are being sent through cURL to REST post call.
<?php
include 'functions.php';
session_start();
$user_mac = $_SESSION["id"]; //user's mac address
$ap_mac = $_SESSION["ap"]; //AP mac
$ssid = $_SESSION["ssid"]; //ssid the user is on (POST 2.3.2)
$time = $_SESSION["t"]; //time the user attempted a request of the portal
$url = $_SESSION["url"]; //url the user attempted to reach
$sesh = $_SESSION["rand"];
/*
//Check what gets send
echo $user_mac;
echo '<br/>';
echo $ap_mac;
echo '<br/>';
echo $ssid;
echo '<br/>';
echo $time;
echo '<br/>';
echo $url;
echo '<br/>';
echo $sesh;
echo '<br/>';
echo $_POST["EMAIL"];
*/
$ch = curl_init();
$service_url = 'https://blablabla.com/rest/wifi/post_test';
$parm = array(
'KEY' => '1',
'BOOKING_ID' => $_POST["BOOKING_ID"],
'GUEST_NAME' => $_POST["GUEST_NAME"],
'EMAIL' => $_POST["EMAIL"],
'AP_MAC' => $ap_mac,
'USER_MAC' => $user_mac,
'SSID' => $ssid,
'REACH_ID' => $url,
'LOG_TIME' => $time,
'SESH_ID'=> $sesh
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$service_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,http_build_query($parm));
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
// http_build_query(array('postvar1' => 'value1')));
// get the reposne from serv
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
$jsonString = json_encode($server_output, true);
$data = json_decode($jsonString);
//show the response
echo '<pre>',print_r($data),'</pre>';
curl_close ($ch);
$macreturned = $data[0]['usermac'];
$macreturned1 = $jsonString[0]["usermac"];
echo $macreturned;
echo $macreturned1;
$status = $jsonString[0]["Status"];
$status_id = (int)$status;
IF ($status_id == 1 ) {
echo "Access denied.";
}
ELSE
{
echo "Access provided.";
sendAuthorization($macreturned,10);
}
curl_close ($ch);
?>
Oracle DB process the input.
DB sent response to portal in form o JSON string with data like MAC address and session length.
{
"Status":"2",
"usermac":"11:11:11:11:11",
"Return message":"Whoa we are in",
"sesh_length":"14400",
"sesh_id":"4568"
}

Depending on status output it executes another call through function sendAuthorization
<?php
function sendAuthorization($id, $minutes)
{
$unifiServer = "https://1.1.1.1";
$unifiUser = "Admin";
$unifiPass = "Admin";
// Start Curl for login
$ch = curl_init();
// We are posting data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
// Set up cookies
$cookie_file = "/tmp/unifi_cookie";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file);
// Allow Self Signed Certs
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
// Force SSL3 only
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);
// Login to the UniFi controller
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$unifiServer/login");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
"login=login&username=$unifiUser&password=$unifiPass");
// send login command
curl_exec ($ch);
// Send user to authorize and the time allowed
$data = json_encode(array(
'cmd'=>'authorize-guest',
'mac'=>$id,
'minutes'=>$minutes));
// Send the command to the API
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $unifiServer.'/api/cmd/stamgr');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'json='.$data);
curl_exec ($ch);
// Logout of the UniFi Controller
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $unifiServer.'/logout');
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
unset($ch);
}
?>
Now this is when it stops working. I need to talk back to controller so I need to execute another function passing two elements usermac with sesh_length using cURL. However after receiving JSON from server something on PHP side of things is stopping executing another cURL function.
Now there are info about multiple cURL scripts running but I need to carry out call CALL depending on results from initial call.
Any help greatly appreciated, I dont work on this side of things so I know very little about PHP and cURL.
