Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found

Question

I'm trying a simple web service example and I get this error even though I uncommented extension=php_soap.dll in the php.ini file:

Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.9\www\server.php on line 2

Are you sure you edited Apache/bin/php.ini and restarted apache after that?? — Shubham, Jul 09 '12 at 08:30
Thank you. Apperantly, I changed another php.ini file. I found the one in Apache file. — Figen Güngör, Jul 09 '12 at 08:51
sudo apt-get install php7.0 for those of you who haven't installed it yet — FoxMcCloud, Jul 12 '18 at 15:09
`sudo apt-get install php-soap` (plus `service apache2 restart`) fixed this issue for me on Ubuntu 20.04.1 — jbobbins, Sep 21 '20 at 22:13

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:

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

Don't forget to also uncomment this line: `;extension=php_openssl.dll` if the WSDL you are trying to reach is under https protocol – juliangonzalez Jan 08 '15 at 17:22
in my case it was not installed and there is no extension=php_soap.dll in the php.in um using php5.6 centos6.9 – zero8 Sep 29 '17 at 06:56

If it doesn't work maybe you need install soap first : sudo apt install php5.6-soap . Then restart apache – Zvezdochka May 12 '19 at 19:54

For me, The `SoapClient` class is still not found. I see it enabled in the phpinfo(), the extension is enabled, openssl is enabled too, everything is ok but the class isn't found. I use Wampserver 3.0 and PHP 5.6 and I restarted Apache but doesn't solve the problem. Please help. – Eve Sep 06 '19 at 12:43

If I follow the above comment (`apt-get install php7.0-soap`) on Ubuntu 20.04.01, I get this error: Unable to locate package php7.0-soap. Running `apt-get install php-soap` fixes the issue and installs the appropriate soap version for this OS (7.4 in my case). – jbobbins Sep 21 '20 at 22:30

@chris did you try: `sudo apt-get install php7.2-soap` – Nahid Dec 19 '18 at 04:48

@Nahid thanks, I tried that but it did not work and did not show it as installed soap package then I installed it by extracting the soap package directly from the url and it worked. – Parminder Singh Jun 12 '19 at 15:20
`php-soap` is the generic package name on Debian, which automatically maps to the installed PHP version (at least the default one) – gog Sep 04 '19 at 10:20

To install SOAP in PHP5.6 run following in your Ubuntu 14.04 terminal:

sudo apt-get install php5.6-soap
service php5.6-fpm restart
service apache2 restart

See if SOAP was enabled:

php -m

(You should see SOAP between returned text.)

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.

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

Software » Module Installers » PHP Extensions & Applications Package
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
Install HTTP_Request2 (optional)

install ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP_Request2
Restart Services » HTTP Server (Apache)

From shell command

1.pear install SOAP

2.reboot

WHM's EasyApache interface also has an option for enabling Soap in the Exhaustive Options list. — Andrew, Aug 30 '15 at 23:53

You have to inherit nusoap.php class and put it in your project directory, you can download it from the Internet.

Use this code:

require_once('nusoap.php');

I had a similar problem. It was due to the scope and solved by replacing new SoapClient by new \SoapClient.
