Sharepoint GetListItemChangesSinceToken CURL request in PHP - php

Question

I'm trying to get the latest changes from my documentlist in Sharepoint using PHP and GetListItemChangesSinceToken. I'm using phpSPO as a SDK since there aren't any official Sharepoint SDK's for PHP.
So far I have this:
$payload = array(
'query' => array(
'__metadata' => array('type' => 'SP.ChangeLogItemQuery'),
'ViewName' => '',
'QueryOptions'=> '<QueryOptions><Folder>Shared Documents</Folder></QueryOptions>'
)
);
$headers = array();
$headers["X-HTTP-Method"] = "MERGE";
$changes = $this->request->executeQueryDirect($this->settings->URL . "/_api/web/Lists/GetByTitle('Documents')/GetListItemChangesSinceToken", $headers, $payload);
Which returns: {"error":{"code":"-2147467261, System.ArgumentNullException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: query"}}}
I've tried changing the X-HTTP-Method and changing the array to fit the documented JSON/XML request (XML in JSON objects, come on Microsoft)

First approach
The following example demonstrates how to utilize GetListItemChangesSinceToken method:
$listTitle = "Documents";
$payload = array(
'query' => array(
'__metadata' => array('type' => 'SP.ChangeLogItemQuery'),
'ViewName' => '',
'QueryOptions'=> '<QueryOptions><Folder>Shared Documents</Folder></QueryOptions>'
)
);
$request = new ClientRequest($webUrl,$authCtx);
$options = array(
'url' => $webUrl . "/_api/web/Lists/GetByTitle('$listTitle')/GetListItemChangesSinceToken",
'data' => json_encode($payload),
'method' => 'POST'
);
$response = $request->executeQueryDirect($options);
//process results
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
$xml->registerXPathNamespace('z', '#RowsetSchema');
$rows = $xml->xpath("//z:row");
foreach($rows as $row) {
print (string)$row->attributes()["ows_FileLeafRef"] . "\n";
}
Second approach
Since SharePoint REST Client SDK for PHP now supports GetListItemChangesSinceToken method, the previous example could be invoked like this:
$list = $ctx->getWeb()->getLists()->getByTitle($listTitle);
$query = new ChangeLogItemQuery();
//to request all the items set ChangeToken property to null
$query->ChangeToken = "1;3;e49a3225-13f6-47d4-a146-30d9caa05362;635969955256400000;10637059";
$items = $list->getListItemChangesSinceToken($query);
$ctx->executeQuery();
foreach ($items->getData() as $item) {
print "[List Item] $item->Title\r\n";
}
