I have already looked into some solutions but none of them have worked. I am stuck at this from hours and I am getting nothing in result. How can I solve this issue?

Answer 1

It looks like your php is installed without SOAP extension which is required by mongosoft/yii2-soap-server.

The best way to deal with it is to add the extension to your installation but the way how to do it depends on how you've installed the php itself.

If you've compilled the php from source code you should recompile it while adding --enable-soap switch to the configure command.

If you've installed php from system's package repository try looking for a package with name like php-soap, php7.4-soap or something similar.

If someone else is managing the server for you, try contacting them and ask them to add the soap extension for you.

You can also force composer to skip the platform requirements check by adding --ignore-platform-reqs switch to your composer install command. This should force the installation to pass but the library itself might not work properly because of missing extension. You should only do this when you are sure that the extension is available but composer cannot see it for some reasons (for example when you are running composer with different php configuration).
