How to enable soap extensions

Question

Is it possible to enable soap extensions in php without compiling the php dist? I´m using Mac OS X 10.5+ with the built in php interpreter.

Answer 1

As far as i know, you need to compile it because it's a core function. But you could try to copy precompiled php packages over your existing ones to put the compiled soap binaries and it's loading informations into the propriate files. Don't forget to make a backup!

Answer 2

If you really don't want to compile it you can use NuSoap from PEAR.

But I'd compile it if I were you, nusoap is not compatible with the built-in soap and it's a pain to juggle. Just do it right and start with the PHP5 SOAP lib.
