SOAP extension for PHP5.1.4

WOW, it's been so long since my last post/visit to this forum. I miss it...

Anyway, I need some help/direction with trying to enable PHP's SOAP extension for PHP5.1.4. It seems my only choice is recompiling PHP with soap enabled in order to get it working. I'm hoping someone here knows a place I can just download php_soap.so from somewhere and enable the module within php.ini.

If not, here's what I'm thinking:

Is there a way to compile just the php_soap extension?
Do I have to compile php again with this enabled? If so, does this create a php_soap.so file or is this embeded within the php binary thats compiled? If it makes a php_soap.so file, can't I just copy that lib file into my extensions directory and enable it within php.ini?
I'm very concerned about recompiling php and I'd like to avoid it if I can. I don't really want to use third party kind of code to do SOAP work (PEAR, nuSOAP, etc.) so I'll compile before I use that.


Thanks so much. Good to be back

EDIT:
Forgot to mention I'm using Red Hat Fedora core5 as an OS.

You have to recompile your php.

Always check through your package manager :).
I searched for a yum package and it did everything for me without changing my php version.

SWEET!

Please could you give me the exact details of how you got the package installed for SOAP without a full php configure - i.e. which Package - was it available for all users once done, or did you have to do something like uncomment extension=php_soap.so in php.ini after that? Thanks
