Please follow the below steps :

 1) Locate php.ini in your apache bin folder, I.e Apache/bin/php.ini
 2) Remove the ; from the beginning of extension=php_soap.dll
 3) Restart your Apache server (by using : 
    # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart OR 
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart OR 
    $ sudo service apache2 restart)
 4) Look up your phpinfo();
