$user->execute(['user_id' => $_SESSION['user_id']]);
$user = $user->fetchObject();

$app = new DropboxApp("...", "...",$user->dropbox_token);

//Configure Dropbox service
$dropbox = new Dropbox($app);

$listFolderContents = $dropbox->listFolder("/");
//Fetch Items
$items = $listFolderContents->getItems();
 ?>

error is

I'm getting this too, PHP version 5.6.31

public function median($key = null)
{
    $count = $this->count();

    if ($count == 0) {
        return;
    }

    $values = (isset($key) ? $this->pluck($key) : $this)
                ->sort()->values();

    $middle = (int) ($count / 2);

    if ($count % 2) {
        return $values->get($middle);
    }

    return (new static([
        $values->get($middle - 1), $values->get($middle),
    ]))->average();
}

Line 155 is:

$values = (isset($key) ? $this->pluck($key) : $this)
->sort()->values();

Replacing with:

$values = (isset($key) ? $this->pluck($key) : $this);
$values = $values->sort()->values();

fixes the issue, but not ideal.

The issue is with the PHP version you're using, that is PHP 5.6.31, and the Collection package. The last version of the Collection package, compatible with your PHP version, was v5.3.20 (Here's their composer.json file).

Thus, if you're using PHP's version >=5.5.9, you'll have to stick to the Collection package's version v5.3.20 or earlier.

The Collection package has been required whilst allowing patch changes to the version: "tightenco/collect": "^5.2". The collection package had a breaking change introduced in a patch version upgrade. They went from requiring PHP >=5.5.9 in v5.3.20 to requiring PHP >=5.6.4 in v5.3.23, thus breaking SemVer and apparently, the SDK.

What can be done now is that I can lock down to the v5.3.20. Which will make the Collection package and consequently the SDK compatible with PHP >=5.5.9 (in your case PHP 5.6.31).

However, I want to maintain the SDK for "PHP version 7.0 and up". And thus, would have to make a minor version upgrade (v0.3) for the same. Version v0.2.* would support PHP 5.5.9 till 5.6.40.

For PHP 5.5.9 and above, you'll have to use and stick to the SDK's v0.2 version range.

For PHP 7.0 and above, you'll have to use the SDK's v0.3 version range.

Does this make sense? I'm open to suggestions.

Where is version 0.3?

For PHP 7.0 and above, you'll have to use the SDK's v0.3 version range.
