title: How do I install soap extension?
body: <p>How do I install Soap?</p>
  
  <p>I got this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Fatal error: Class 'SoapClient' not found in /home/user/mysite.com/path/to/file.php  on line 16</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am hosting my site in DreamHost and they don't support any third-party installation.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>I copied the php.ini file with this script: <code>http://sxi.sabrextreme.com/dh-phpini</code></p>
  
  <p>I am using an API from a website and it says something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#######################################################################
  ## You need to enable the following extensions in your PHP.ini file  ##
  ## php_openssl.dll          ##
  ## php_soap.dll             ##
  #######################################################################
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and here are the list of extensions my php.ini file has:</p>
  
  <pre><code>extension=php_bz2.dll
  ;extension=php_cpdf.dll
  ;extension=php_curl.dll
  ;extension=php_dba.dll
  ;extension=php_dbase.dll
  ;extension=php_dbx.dll
  ;extension=php_exif.dll
  ;extension=php_fdf.dll
  ;extension=php_filepro.dll
  ;extension=php_gd2.dll
  ;extension=php_gettext.dll
  ;extension=php_ifx.dll
  ;extension=php_iisfunc.dll
  ;extension=php_imap.dll
  ;extension=php_interbase.dll
  ;extension=php_java.dll
  ;extension=php_ldap.dll
  ;extension=php_mbstring.dll
  ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
  ;extension=php_mhash.dll
  ;extension=php_mime_magic.dll
  ;extension=php_ming.dll
  ;extension=php_mssql.dll
  ;extension=php_msql.dll
  ;extension=php_mysql.dll
  ;extension=php_oci8.dll
  **extension=php_openssl.dll**
  ;extension=php_oracle.dll
  ;extension=php_pdf.dll
  ;extension=php_pgsql.dll
  ;extension=php_shmop.dll
  ;extension=php_snmp.dll
  ;extension=php_sockets.dll
  ;extension=php_sybase_ct.dll
  ;extension=php_tidy.dll

  ;extension=php_xmlrpc.dll
  ;extension=php_xsl.dll
  ;extension=php_yaz.dll
  ;extension=php_zip.dll
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is, the extension php_soap.dll is not found there.</p>
