That's much the question. I have PHP 5.2.9 on Apache and I cannot upgrade PHP. Is there a way for me to enable SOAP in PHP 5.2.9? The PHP manual did not help at all when it said, "To enable SOAP support, configure PHP with --enable-soap ." How do I configure?
In PHP to check whether SOAP enabled or not use built in function class_exists() : var_dump(class_exists("SOAPClient")); It also could be user to check any of modules classes.
SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol. SOAP is an application communication protocol. SOAP is a format for sending and receiving messages. SOAP is platform independent.
Getting SOAP working usually does not require compiling PHP from source. I would recommend trying that only as a last option.
For good measure, check to see what your phpinfo says, if anything, about SOAP extensions:
$ php -i | grep -i soap
to ensure that it is the PHP extension that is missing.
Assuming you do not see anything about SOAP in the phpinfo, see what PHP SOAP packages might be available to you.
In Ubuntu/Debian you can search with:
$ apt-cache search php | grep -i soap
or in RHEL/Fedora you can search with:
$ yum search php | grep -i soap
There are usually two PHP SOAP packages available to you, usually php-soap
and php-nusoap
. php-soap
is typically what you get with configuring PHP with --enable-soap
.
In Ubuntu/Debian you can install with:
$ sudo apt-get install php-soap
Or in RHEL/Fedora you can install with:
$ sudo yum install php-soap
After the installation, you might need to place an ini file and restart Apache.
