Did you try importing it at the top? That is, `use SoapClient;` — Joel Hinz, Nov 01 '15 at 11:41

Try https://github.com/ACFBentveld/Soap. It uses laravel elequent methods like $soap->table — Wim Pruiksma, Nov 16 '17 at 07:51

The class needs to be imported, so either do that at the top:

use SoapClient;

or reference it directly later:

$client = new \SoapClient($wsdl, $options);

I faced with same problem.

I activated Soap extension after I use php artisan serve command and although I restarted my apache server I received same error..

After too many tries I stop artisan and restart it again and that was the solution for me.

You need to have libxml and soap extensions installed for it to load the SoapClient class.

So check php -i | grep limxml and php -i | grep soapto see if they are installed.

For php 7.2 this would be needed to apt install and restart php/server.

apt-get install libxml php7.2-soap

Then check your php ini again. ubuntu ini path for the conf

/etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/20-soap.ini

extension=soap.so

After that you should be able to run new object command.

There was no issue with the extension, still thanks for your help – Akshay Khale Oct 03 '19 at 11:20

@Akshay Khale issue is likely then that you called class without \ as in root namespace so new \SoapClient otherwise it will use namespace of controller you are writing in. – tristanbailey Oct 18 '19 at 21:58

Yes, that was the issue, I have accepted the right answer. – Akshay Khale Oct 19 '19 at 19:22
