Soap Configurations And Wordpress Plugin

[skaterdav85]

I installed a wordpress plugin called Exec-PHP, which allows me to write my own php in the WP interface. However, I am using a SOAP web service and it works fine locally in a regular php file, but when i try it in the plugin, it returns this errror:Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/exec-php/includes/runtime.php(42) : eval()'d code on line 6How do I enable the Soap Client? I did phpinfo(); and SOAP doesnt even show up. Any advice?

You need to enable the extension on the server, which would involve either editing the php.ini file or installing the extension. I'm not sure if that comes bundled with PHP or not.You can also try this:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php

What do you mean by installing the extension?

You can also try this:http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php

how do I use the dl() function to enable the soap client? I cant find much documentation?

According to this:http://www.php.net/manual/en/soap.setup.phpThe only way to enable the extension is to compile PHP with support for it.

so what does this mean? Do i edit the php.ini file or do i do something else?

In order to enable it on that server you would need to rebuild PHP from the source code, which might also involve rebuilding Apache. Your server may have tools for you to do that.

so i searched on another forum and someone said to check these:1. in php.ini, you have the line: extension=php_soap.dll2. in php.ini, you have: extension_dir = "<full path to the 'ext' directory>"3. in the ext directory, you have the file: php_soap.dllI cannot find the ext directory anywhere. Do you know where it might be?

Unless I'm terribly mistaken, you're using a Linux server. Linux doesn't have DLL files, it has SO files. You can't download an SO file, if you want the library you download the source code for it and compile it. But the SOAP extension does not work that way, on Linux the SOAP extension is either built into PHP or not built in, there's no dynamic library to load. At least, not from what I can tell from the documentation.The ini file should already have the correct extension directory. If you want to check what settings PHP is using, create a phpinfo page and you'll see all of the settings there.
