It might be you have not set the path or copy the 3 required file.

Download these files.

Tips
1. Try to run “php -m” without the quote from Window Command Prompt.
2. If it happen a pop-up dialog box mention you required one of those 3 files then you had to set the path an Environment. For example : C:\libxml2-2.6.30+.win32\libxml2-2.6.30+.win32\bin and etc.
2. Copy the libxml++.dll file into your C:\path\wso2-wsf-php-bin-1.2.1-win32\wsf_c\lib and same as the rest.
3. Close the previous command prompt. and rerun the command prompt again. Try to run “php -m” and it might fix the problem.
4. Check the list that shown make sure all those 3 files are listed.
5. Now the wsf will be shown out.
6. Restart your apache server or restart your PC if required. The wfs will be shwon in phpinfo(). It happen to me that it required me to restart the server several time until the wsf shown. Weird.
7. Anyway, try the sample client. It might be working now.

Happy Coding.
