WAMP Stack PHP "Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found"

Question

I have a WAMP (windows (7), apache, mysql, php) stack all setup and running. All is well and it is working and running as expected. I use the machine primarily for development however it is accessible to the outside world. Anyways..

I recently come cross a client with a pre-existing SaaS product where cURL, SOAP, and the like are used. I drop there system onto my server and a bit of jumping around to set it up, get it setup, start plugging away at things to only come across a section where I am getting

Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found

Naturally my first jump was i forgot to uncomment

extension=php_soap.dll

Which was true, so I did un-comment it, save the file, then restart the server. However the problem still exists (so I tried even rebooting), now I am stuck as I am not a guru with WAMP/LAMP stacks and configuring them I can only just get around them as needed til now.

Answer 1

This might be a little late now, But I had the similar problem with wamp, and it was because php.ini was different in apache and in cli mode, there was one in apache folder which had php_soap.dll included but the one in php folder which cli was using didn't have it. I add it to the other one and the problem was solved

Answer 2

Do you have a php_soap.dll in your php/ext/ folder?

Answer 3

To find the loaded php.ini file, load the phpinfo() page. Navigate to that path and open php.ini in notepad and search for php_soap.dll in it.

Uncomment this line and save the file before restarting the server.

Answer 4

You've probably checked this, but what version of PHP are you using? SoapClient only available after 5.0.1

Answer 5

Uncommenting it in php.ini didn't work. I had to uncomment it in php.ini-development and php.ini-production. They were all in C:/BitNami/wampstack-.../php
