How can I get my Square Connect location without using command line - php

Question

I want to start by saying I have searched extensively, including google, connect.squareup.com, and Stack Overflow and cannot find an answer to my question. I have posed this question to Square support, and (even though I mentioned I could not access command line and have already done the tutorial mentioned below, I was directed to said tutorial and told to use the command line that I can't use. Here's my problem...
I am trying to set up the square connect API on a webserver for a client. On the webserver, I do not have access to command line (or SSH without an additional cost to the client). The only ways I have found to get the location_id requires command line (as far as I can tell). Is there a way to not have to use command line? Or is there another way to put in the required command without command line access?
Here is what I have done so far:
I read somewhere (can't remember where now) that you can install composer locally, use command line on your machine to install the dependencies needed for square-connect, then move all the files to your server. I have done that to get the files on the server.
My file structure looks like this:
payment-portal/
vendor/
composer/
square/
autoload.php
composer.json
composer.json
composer.lock
composer.phar
locations-test.php
process-card.php
The locations-test.php contains:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$access_token = "ACCESS_TOKEN";
$location_api = new \SquareConnect\Api\LocationApi();
echo $location_api->listLocations($access_token);
Note: ACCESS_TOKEN has been replaced with my personal access token.
Of coarse, if I access this file at mywebpage.com/payment-portal/locations-test.php, I get a blank page.
Also, I am not getting any errors in the error log.
The way to get locations is lined out here.
Under "Retrieving your location IDs." I am OK up until this point, but I cannot use command line in my server to use the code:
php locations-test.php
What are my other options to get the location_id? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any help or direction!

According the php-sdk you're using for connecting to the square API, the required format for $access_token should be "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" no just your access token.
/**
* #param string $authorization The value to provide in the Authorization header of
* your request. This value should follow the format `Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE`.
Try using this instead and see if it works.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$access_token = "Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN";
$location_api = new \SquareConnect\Api\LocationApi();
echo $location_api->listLocations($access_token);
Of course, don't forget to replace the ACCESS_TOKEN part with your own access token.
