The link below is for Xero dashboard:
https://my.xero.com
Very first you need to create an application in Xero, follow the link below to create application:
https://app.xero.com/Application/
Click on "Add Application" and fill up required fields. In this step you will need public/private key pair. To generate public/pair key follow the link. You need to upload "publickey.cer" in xero application form and other file named "privatekey.perm" need to place in a folder named "XeroCerts" in your application directory.
After click save you will forward to next page, from where you can get Consumer Key & Consumer Secret which will need to connect to your organization via this application.
You are done with create application in Xero.
Next step to write some PHP script to connect to Xero.
Below is a small PHP script which help you to connect to Xero.
And output will be like this on execution the above script:
