Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found after upgrading PHP from version 7.0 to 7.2

Question

I upgraded PHP 7.0 to 7.2 in Ubuntu. After performing an upgrade, I installed Laravel 5.6.

Before the upgrade, class 'SoapClient' is true, but after the upgrade, I encountered

Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found

I checked php.ini in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini but I didn't see extension=php_soap.dll in php.ini.

How to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

To install SOAP in PHP 7.2 run following in your Ubuntu 16.04 terminal:

1. sudo apt-get install php7.2-soap
2. sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 2

Look up the following inside your script file

phpinfo();

Do the following:

1.Locate php.ini in your apache bin folder, I.e Apache/bin/php.ini. Remove the ; from the beginning of extension=php_soap.dll

2.Restart your Apache server

EDIT:

For your problem you only need to install soap.

Run sudo apt-get install php7.2-soap to install soap and also run sudo service php7.2-fpm restart and sudo service apache2 restart and your problem fixed!

Answer 3

If it is disabled Do the following:

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 extension=php_soap.dll not found in your php.ini follow below steps

1. sudo apt-get install php7.2-soap
2. sudo service apache2 restart
