PHP-SOAP extension is not loaded

Question

I have Centos 6.4 Final running on a (Linux certified) HP PC. I'm writing a small EPOS app in PHP and need to access various Magento SOAP methods.

When I installed php (via yum) I did not know I needed SOAP. So i used yum install php-soap at a later date. After which I did yum update.

Looking at the phpinfo() output Link http://www.prendas.co.uk/images/download/phpinfo.pdf

SOAP appears to be working. However I get "SOAP extension is not loaded." in my PHP code when I try and load it.

Can anybody pls help?

Answer 1

Go to Php.ini File from phpmyadmin open in text editor and search for ;extension=php_soap.dll and just remove ; symbol and after that restart your Wamp/xamp services and then refresh your url page..enjoy

I dont really know much about centOS, but it could be possible, that there are two php.ini files. One for Apache and one for the CLI. So in case you place your SOAP-call from CLI (which I thought to be likely), you might have to add the SOAP-extension to the list of loaded extensions within this CLI's php.ini.

ok just go to php.ini file and see if extension=php_soap.dll actually exist, if it doesn't, then look through the file and find where your extensions are and paste extension=php_soap.dll. if extension=php_soap.dll actually exist but it's written as ;extension=php_soap.dll then remove the semi-colon, save the file, stop and restart your modules and voila!!!
