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

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
