Php Solutions


Solution 1 - Php

Diagnose

Look up the following inside your script file

phpinfo();

If you can't find Soap Client set to enabled like so: the way soap should appear in phpinfo()

Fix

Do the following:

  1. Locate php.ini in your apache bin folder, I.e Apache/bin/php.ini
  2. Remove the ; from the beginning of extension=php_soap.dll
  3. Restart your Apache server
  4. Look up your phpinfo(); again and check if you see a similar picture to the one above
  5. If you do, problem solved!

On the other hand if this doesn't solve your issue, you may want to check the requirements for SOAP here. Also in the comment section you can find good advice on connecting to https.

Solution 5 - Php

I had to run

php-config --configure-options --enable-soap 

as root and restart apache.

That worked! Now my phpinfo() call shows the SOAP section.

Solution 6 - Php

I solved this issue on PHP 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 nginx

sudo apt-get install php7.0-soap

sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Solution 7 - Php

I couln't find the SOAP section in phpinfo() so I had to install it.

For information the SOAP extension requires the libxml PHP extension. This means that passing in --enable-libxml is also required according to http://php.net/manual/en/soap.requirements.php

From WHM panel

  1. Software » Module Installers » PHP Extensions & Applications Package

  2. Install SOAP 0.13.0

    WARNING: "pear/HTTP_Request" is deprecated in favor of "pear/HTTP_Request2"

    install ok: channel://pear.php.net/SOAP-0.13.0

  3. Install HTTP_Request2 (optional)

    install ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP_Request2

  4. Restart Services » HTTP Server (Apache)

From shell command

1.pear install SOAP

2.reboot
