    The state parameter used in the OAuth app authorization flow has a size limit of 500 bytes. This error indicates that you're supplying more data than that. You should update your app to make sure you never supply more than 500 bytes.

     

    The state value is supplied to the Dropbox.WebAuth.start method, as the $urlState variable.

     

    Also, that PHP Core SDK uses API v1, which is deprecated. You should migrate to API v2 whenever possibe.
