Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/issues/88

I am working on the basic examples in the docs which is strangely not showing the user's profile on the front end.

I have taken a couple of approaches but cannot get it working.

The code is the basic example and looks like this:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$session = new SpotifyWebAPI\Session(
    '****',
    '****',
    'test.html'
);

$api = new SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPI();

if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
    $session->requestAccessToken($_GET['code']);
    $api->setAccessToken($session->getAccessToken());

    print_r($api->me());
} else {
    $options = [
        'scope' => [
            'user-read-email',
        ],
    ];

    header('Location: ' . $session->getAuthorizeUrl($options));
    die();
}

The url looks like http://url/index.html?code=AQCH5_yl4bOPEvRaMfwQjpdm6esTfkUVwmZ5NEFlD0L9sfmst5-8FmwK0puU_9kI8yOK5i0uLUSYH00dW3kvl_gPCG0ARpgNaAdDoVTF33oOVY-qkh-EG3TRvmYj2u1c9qVAM8ea_g4JL7LOUPyQTdEPSFFwykpU_YCGzOo2grd0jR_Cu6L9DflC-xlappmP_yvFNLiXLzmS-qJIyla1g_NKfYZQJykGqKjozoBnJrBLDcllwNOwQ1pRRo2m

I would have thought the php code would handle exchanging the code for a token but this doesn't appear to be happening.

Hi!
What's happening when you run the code? Do you get any error messages? Is the code interpreted as PHP (I'm asking since you're using .html-files)?

I have not got any error messages. I have also tried by using two php files. One of the files step1 was used to to request access to the user's account and nd redirecting them to your app's authorize URL (step2.php)

When I made this attempt I had a step1.php that looked like this:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$session = new SpotifyWebAPI\Session(
    'CLIENT_ID',
    'CLIENT_SECRET',
    'REDIRECT_URI'
);

$options = [
    'scope' => [
        'playlist-read-private',
        'user-read-private',
    ],
];

header('Location: ' . $session->getAuthorizeUrl($options));
die();

?>

then my step2.php file looked like this:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$session = new SpotifyWebAPI\Session('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET', 'REDIRECT_URI');
$api = new SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPI();

// Request a access token using the code from Spotify
$session->requestAccessToken($_GET['code']);
$accessToken = $session->getAccessToken();

// Set the access token on the API wrapper
$api->setAccessToken($accessToken);

print_r($api->me());

?>

Hmm, are you using an absolute URL as the redirect uri? For example http://localhost/test.php in both the application you created at Spotify's developer site and in your code? Make sure they're an exact match, trailing slashes and everything. If they differ, that might be the issue.

Otherwise, I don't know what the problem might be. I can't see anything wrong with your code. It should work.
