Box.com shared link on folder - php

Question

I'm using this php class for box.com
https://github.com/golchha21/BoxPHPAPI
I have made my own function to share a folder like this
public function share_folder($folder_id) {
$url = $this->build_url("/folders/".$folder_id);
$params = array('shared_link' => array('access' => 'open', 'permissions' =>
array('can_download' => 'true', 'can_preview' => 'true')));
return json_decode($this->post($url, json_encode($params)), true);
}
I'm having the same issue as this post.
Access denied error message when trying to create a shared link to a folder in Box
Does anyone have a fix for this or know why it's happening?
Update
I figured it out:
public function share_folder($folder_id) {
$url = $this->build_url("/folders/".$folder_id);
$params = array('shared_link' => array('access' => 'open', 'permissions' =>
array('can_download' => true, 'can_preview' => true)));
return json_decode($this->put($url, $params), true);
I have to change it to put and take off the json_encode
Hope this help someone else

The API is now updated with the sharing function.
<?php
include('library/BoxAPI.class.php');
$client_id = 'CLIENT ID';
$client_secret = 'CLIENT SECRET';
$redirect_uri = 'REDIRECT URL';
$box = new Box_API($client_id, $client_secret, $redirect_uri);
if(!$box->load_token()){
if(isset($_GET['code'])){
$token = $box->get_token($_GET['code'], true);
if($box->write_token($token, 'file')){
$box->load_token();
}
} else {
$box->get_code();
}
}
// Share folder
$params['shared_link']['access'] = 'ACCESS TYPE'; //open|company|collaborators
print_r($box->share_folder('FOLDER ID', $params));
// Share file
$params['shared_link']['access'] = 'ACCESS TYPE'; //open|company|collaborators
print_r($box->share_file('File ID', $params);
?>
