If the php.ini is the one defining the modules (as is the case in the ubuntu repos) then it may not show up in the configure command, but under the modules list. I believe only statically compiled modules are listed in the configure command section. Sincerely, Judd Pickell On Tue, Jul 28, 2009

Decide if you want a stable distro php version or a custom binary. You can just do an apt-get or yum. I would assume that if: 1) You have not defined soap in php.ini module section (version dependent). 2) Your phpinfo() does not show soap. 3) php -i does not show soap. You don't have soap.
