I need install SOAP for PHP on my server. Looking at the documentation on the PHP manual there is only this instruction
To enable SOAP support, configure PHP with --enable-soap
Can anyone tell me how I do this? I'm assuming that I need to do this on the command line somehow?
That means recompiling it and passing the --enable-soap switch to your ./configure script.
But you should run php -m from the command line first (or phpinfo(); ) to ensure that it's not already installed. It's a popular extension, and most hosts have it enabled by default.
If you need to compile PHP, you can find instructions on php.net for windows and linux platforms.

The only help i can find is about XAMPP installations, but i'm running a fresh root server with Plesk and.. classical LAMP and PHP 5.3.8 - everyone is telling me that Normalizer class must be available in PHP 5.3+, but it's obviously not available in my server..
what is missing, what i have to do that the class is there and running?
Unless PHP was compiled with the --enable-intl flag, the Normalizer will not be available. Check using phpinfo(). If it's not enabled, you can either recompile PHP, adding that flag, or try the PECL installation.
See http://php.net/manual/en/intl.installation.php
If the PHP installation was provided by the OS, perhaps you can use its package manager to add the intl extension as well. With root privileges, just run something like this:
$ apt-get install php5-intl
I am trying to install pthreads for PHP, which is here.
In PHP manual of extention it says:
To enable pthreads support, configure PHP with --enable-maintainer-zts
and --enable-pthreads.
I have a CentOS server which has PHP installed but I cant figure out how to reconfigure it with these settings on, I checked my phpinfo() can see current ./configure options.
I will happy if someone can show me how to reconfigure my php. Do I need to uninstall current PHP first then install another or is there any way to run this ./configure command easily. I have SSH access to my server.
You could try install using PECL:
http://pecl.php.net/package/pthreads.
How to install PECL extensions:
http://php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.php
pecl install pthreads
I've written a tutorial about exactly this - Compile PHP with pthreads and ZTS enabled.
You must compile PHP as there are no prebuilt packages.
To reconfigure everything you'd use ./configure mainly.
if centos does not provide a thread safe version, you must compile php by own.
You have to build pthreads for your centos op system. After that you can use it as extension...
Use the following tutorials
http://blog.slowbro.org/2013/08/compiling-php-55-with-pthreads-on-centos/
http://eddmann.com/posts/compiling-php-5-5-with-zts-and-pthreads-support/
Or simply read the manual...
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pthreads.installation.php
I have problems with the Pthreads PHP extension. I have compiled PHP with ZTS enabled (--enable-maintainer-zts) and installed the pthreads via pecl and also tried to manually compile the extension.
It seems I don't actually know how to use it. I assumed I would be able to use the Thread class in PHP like any other built-in class, but with no luck as PHP doesn't recognize it. POSIX functions seem to work.
I am using Ubuntu 12.10 Server 64-bit with mod_php 5.4.6.
If you cannot access the extensions classes then it is not loaded.
I think you opened a bug report, to which I responded that your configure line is malformed.
The configure line you want to use is:
./configure --enable-pthreads --enable-maintainer-zts
The above command will build pthreads as a DSO.
./configure --enable-pthreads=static --enable-maintainer-zts
The above command will build pthreads statically into PHP.
Both are equally supported by 5.3, 5.4 and even 5.5.
Additionally, if you are overwriting your system installation then you should use a specific --prefix, for example, if you php executable is at /usr/bin ( which you can ascertain with "which php" ), then --prefix=/usr will overwrite your system installation.
Clean out your old installations ( do make uninstall if the sources are still available ). Start again, ensure you are either, overwriting the system installation or isolating this one completely.
Please update the bug report when you have worked it out.
That's much the question. I have PHP 5.2.9 on Apache and I cannot upgrade PHP. Is there a way for me to enable SOAP in PHP 5.2.9? The PHP manual did not help at all when it said, "To enable SOAP support, configure PHP with --enable-soap ." How do I configure?
Getting SOAP working usually does not require compiling PHP from source. I would recommend trying that only as a last option.
For good measure, check to see what your phpinfo says, if anything, about SOAP extensions:
$ php -i | grep -i soap
to ensure that it is the PHP extension that is missing.
Assuming you do not see anything about SOAP in the phpinfo, see what PHP SOAP packages might be available to you.
In Ubuntu/Debian you can search with:
$ apt-cache search php | grep -i soap
or in RHEL/Fedora you can search with:
$ yum search php | grep -i soap
There are usually two PHP SOAP packages available to you, usually php-soap and php-nusoap. php-soap is typically what you get with configuring PHP with --enable-soap.
In Ubuntu/Debian you can install with:
$ sudo apt-get install php-soap
Or in RHEL/Fedora you can install with:
$ sudo yum install php-soap
After the installation, you might need to place an ini file and restart Apache.
In case that you have Ubuntu in your machine, the following steps will help you:
Check first in your php testing file if you have soap (client / server)or not by using phpinfo(); and check results in the browser.
In case that you have it, it will seems like the following image ( If not go to step 2 ):
Open your terminal and paste: sudo apt-get install php-soap.
Restart your apache2 server in terminal : service apache2 restart.
To check use your php test file again to be seems like mine in step 1.
As far as your question goes: no, if activating from .ini is not enough and you can't upgrade PHP, there's not much you can do. Some modules, but not all, can be added without recompilation (zypper install php5-soap, yum install php-soap). If it is not enough, try installing some PEAR class for interpreted SOAP support (NuSOAP, etc.).
In general, the double-dash --switches are designed to be used when recompiling PHP from scratch.
You would download the PHP source package (as a compressed .tgz tarball, say), expand it somewhere and then, e.g. under Linux, run the configure script
./configure --prefix ...
The configure command used by your PHP may be shown with phpinfo(). Repeating it identical should give you an exact copy of the PHP you now have installed. Adding --enable-soap will then enable SOAP in addition to everything else.
That said, if you aren't familiar with PHP recompilation, don't do it. It also requires several ancillary libraries that you might, or might not, have available - freetype, gd, libjpeg, XML, expat, and so on and so forth (it's not enough they are installed; they must be a developer version, i.e. with headers and so on; in most distributions, having libjpeg installed might not be enough, and you might need libjpeg-dev also).
I have to keep a separate virtual machine with everything installed for my recompilation purposes.
I'm installing a PHP script in my server and when I try to run the test page, I get an error saying:
PHP needs to be compiled with ZLib support enabled (--with-zlib[=DIR])
How can I fix this on Apache?
I assume this is on linux?
As the error says, you need to recompile your PHP installation.
Take a look at the Makefile in the folder where you have the PHP source to see the ./configure line that was used last time, use all of the same options with the addition of --with-zlib
./configure --with-zlib ...(other config options)...
make
make install
