PHP SDK Issue - Uncaught Error: Call to a member function post() on null

Probably a dumb issue, I'm used to C# and Python but not PHP, trying to move an automation I have over to PHP.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but every time I run the below code, then test it, I receive "Uncaught Error: Call to a member function post() on null in /path/to/myapp.php"

<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use RingCentral\SDK\Subscription\Events\NotificationEvent;
use RingCentral\SDK\Subscription\Subscription;

$RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTID = 'sensored';
$RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTSECRET = 'sensored';
$RINGCENTRAL_SERVER = 'https://platform.ringcentral.com';

$RINGCENTRAL_USERNAME = "sensored";
$RINGCENTRAL_PASSWORD = 'sensored';
$RINGCENTRAL_EXTENSION = "sensored";

$rcsdk = new RingCentral\SDK\SDK($RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTID, $RINGCENTRAL_CLIENTSECRET, $RINGCENTRAL_SERVER);

$platform = $rcsdk->platform();
$platform->login($RINGCENTRAL_USERNAME, $RINGCENTRAL_EXTENSION, $RINGCENTRAL_PASSWORD);

$subscription = $rcsdk->createSubscription();
$subscription->addEvents(array('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/telephony/sessions'));
$subscription->addListener(Subscription::EVENT_NOTIFICATION, function (NotificationEvent $e) {
    if(($e->payload()['body']["parties"][0]['to']['phoneNumber'] == 'myextension') or ($e->payload()['body']["parties"][0]['to']['phoneNumber'] == 'myDID') and ($e->payload()['body']['parties'][0]['status']['code'] == 'Setup'))
    {
        $accountId = '~';
        $telephonySessionId = $e->payload()['body']['telephonySessionId'];
        $partyId = $e->payload()['body']['parties'][0]['id'];
        $body = array(
            'extensionNumber' => 'sensored'
        );

        $r = $platform->post("/restapi/v1.0/account/{$accountId}/telephony/sessions/{$telephonySessionId}/parties/{$partyId}/forward", $body);
        echo json_decode($r);
    }
});
$subscription->setKeepPolling(true);
$subscription->register();
?>

I've verified that the variables are all good, URL is pulled properly, and that I'm sending the required params as seen here: https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Call-Control/transferCallParty

Is it because I'm calling this from inside of the event notification?

Any help would be appreciated, especially on the proper way of doing this

Full error:

If you want to use a global variable inside a PHP function, you have to redeclare it with the global keyword inside the function before using it. So try this:

$subscription->addListener(Subscription::EVENT_NOTIFICATION, function (NotificationEvent $e) {
    global $platform;
    if(($e->payload()['body']["parties"][0]['to']['phoneNumber'] == 'myextension') or ($e->payload()['body']["parties"][0]['to']['phoneNumber'] == 'myDID') and ($e->payload()['body']['parties'][0]['status']['code'] == 'Setup'))
    {
        $accountId = '~';
        $telephonySessionId = $e->payload()['body']['telephonySessionId'];
        $partyId = $e->payload()['body']['parties'][0]['id'];
        $body = array(
            'extensionNumber' => 'sensored'
        );
 
        $r = $platform->post("/restapi/v1.0/account/{$accountId}/telephony/sessions/{$telephonySessionId}/parties/{$partyId}/forward", $body);
        echo json_decode($r);
    }
});
