Enable soap, mysql PHP5 windows xp

[frustratedcoder]

I have tried to find a good ref. on how to enable soap and mysql in
PHP5 on windows xp but without luck.

Can any one take me through the process? I need to enable both soap and
mysql I'm not running apache.

I need to know how to recomplie my PHP5 on windows xp.

Why do you need to recompile?
The stock php.exe from php.net already has this in it.
Just edit the php.ini and uncomment the extensions you need.

hi David.

I tried the same approach with mysql but kept getting an error that
mysql had not been enabled.

I just change the entry in the php.ini file, but I'm still getting the
error "PHP Fatal error".

what does phpinfo() tell you?

The phpinfo doesnt contain anything about soap.

which means that soap is not enabled on your system.

Things to check:
1. in php.ini, you have the line:
extension=php_s oap.dll
2. in php.ini, you have:
extension_dir = "<full path to the 'ext' directory>"
3. in the ext directory, you have the file:
php_soap.dll

If you are running PHP through apache, try running it from the command
line and giving it the phpinfo() command.
i.e.
create a file containing:
<?php phpinfo() ?>

Run as: php <file>.php
and check whether SOAP information is displayed.

Some people have been editing the wrong php.ini file. Check your PATH
environment to make sure you are looking at the right one.

Now it works, I think has been the full path to my extensions that was
missing
