Dropbox doesn't offer an official SDK for PHP in particular, so you'll need to either call the HTTPS endpoints directly, or use a third party library.
To list all of the "namespaces" (which includes shared folders) for the team, you can use the /2/team/namespaces/list[/continue] endpoints.
To get the metadata for a shared folder, including the path, if any, for the specified user, you would call /2/sharing/get_folder_metadata. (The API doesn't return folder creation date or total size unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.)
To list the members (including both owner and non-owners) of a shared folder and their access levels, you would use /2/sharing/list_folder_members[/continue].
Note that to access these sharing endpoints when connected to the team itself, you should use the "member file access" feature.
