I don't know if it can be useful for someone but after set my Authorization Code Flow I'm having this error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPIAuthException: code must be supplied in {$INSTALL_PATH}\vendor\jwilsson\spotify-web-api-php\src\Request.php:54

Commenting the line header('Location: app.php'); in callback.php I noticed that the code variable was not gettable by the variabile $_GET['code'] . Infact it always was returned as NULL value and the $_GET as an empty array. So, in the callback.php, I changed the parameter of that call from:

$session->requestAccessToken($_GET['code'])

to that with the 'superglobal' $_REQUEST variable:

$session->requestAccessToken($_REQUEST['code'])

In this way, the code was being not NULL anymore and the access token was properly generated.
After that you can save $accessToken in a session variabile i.e. $_SESSION['accessToken'] = $accessToken; to make the access token visible to app.php.

Hey!
That's really strange that the $_GET array was empty. I'm glad you got it working with $_REQUEST though and shared it here.

I'm going to close this issue since it's not anything wrong with the library but thanks again for sharing it here!
