PHP Soapclient in Laravel 5

Question

I want to use php's built in SoapClient class in laravel 5

I tried using it directly is shows error saying

Class 'App\Http\Controllers\SoapClient' not found.

I tried adding SoapClient in aliases array in config/app.php like this

'SoapClient' => SoapClient::class

Still not working

what should I do?

Thanks in Advance...

Answer 1

The class needs to be imported, so either do that at the top:

use SoapClient;

or reference it directly later:

$client = new \SoapClient($wsdl, $options);

Answer 2

I faced with same problem.

I activated Soap extension after I use php artisan serve command and although I restarted my apache server I received same error..

After too many tries I stop artisan and restart it again and that was the solution for me.
