PHP code working locally but not on Azure

I've implemented a mail delivery service using SparkPost for a website. The code looks like this:

require '/vendor/autoload.php';

use SparkPost\SparkPost; use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use Ivory\HttpAdapter\Guzzle6HttpAdapter;
$httpAdapter = new Guzzle6HttpAdapter(new Client());
$sparky = new SparkPost($httpAdapter, ['key'=>'...']);
[...]
[...]
$results = $sparky->transmission->send($mailarray);

It works just fine locally on WampServer, however when I deploy it to Azure it does not. I don't have access to Azure logs, but I managed to narrow down the problem to one line: 

$sparky = new SparkPost($httpAdapter, ['key'=>'...']);

I simply get a 500 error without any other explanation. The weird thing is when I wrap it around a try/catch, I still don't get anything other than a blank screen and a 500 on the console. I suspect it has to do something with /autoload.php not being able to load something.

Any thoughts?

Solution

  • According the requirement of SparkPost lib on Github repo at https://github.com/SparkPost/php-sparkpost/blob/master/composer.json#L18, it need PHP version higher than 5.5. So you can modify the PHP version of your Azure Web Apps, please refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-configure/#how-to-change-the-built-in-php-version for detail steps.
