Joomla - Getting parameter into external file

Question

I am trying to embed vimeo video playlist script in module but I have problem with getting $token param.

This is file where I get the vimeo key, secret and token using official php library: https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo.php

outside-web-root-settings.php:

define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../../..' ));
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );

$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$session =& JFactory::getSession();

jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_module');
$moduleParams = new JRegistry();
$moduleParams->loadString($module->params);
    $vkey = $moduleParams->get('vimkey'); 
    $vsecret = $moduleParams->get('vimsecret'); 
    $vtoken = $moduleParams->get('vimtoken'); 

    $key = '$vkey'; 
    $secret = '$vsecret';
    $token = '$vtoken';

The script correctly get $vkey and $vsecret params but not the $vtoken. I get this error on console:

You must provide a valid authenticated access token.

and I get this for the var_dump of the $vtoken

string(32) "3wsrsdf234mytoken2342werwr"

But when I change param $token to:

$token = '3wsrsdf234mytoken2342werwr';

Then script work properly. How can I fix this issue?

    return (!isset($v) || trim($v)==='');

if($type == 'vimeo.channel'){

    $result = $vimeo->request("/channels/$path/videos", array(
                                                    'page'=> $page,
                                                    'per_page' => $per_page,
                                                    'fields' => 'uri,name,description,duration,width,height,privacy,pictures.sizes',
                                                    'sort' => $sort,

                                                    'query' => $query));

}

echo json_encode($result);

This is the solution of my problem. Parameters were not loaded correctly.

define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../../..' ));
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .'/includes/defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .'/includes/framework.php' );

$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();

$session = JFactory::getSession();

jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );

$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery("SELECT params FROM #__modules WHERE module = 'mod_module'");

$module = $db->loadObject();
$moduleParams = new JRegistry();
$moduleParams->loadString($module->params);

    $key = $moduleParams->get('vimkey'); 
    $secret = $moduleParams->get('vimsecret'); 
    $token = $moduleParams->get('vimtoken');
