But they fixed it in November (there was a previous non-official fix also.. but can't remember the link right now). nuSOAP has been around for several years and it's working for PHP 4 or PHP 5. So far it's doing the job pretty well (what's more, for a SOAP API, chances are that nuSOAP is included along with the code samples). Though I didn't run any benchmarks, its speed is more than enough for my taste, when caching the WSDL object (in fact, most of the time will be spent in the server to server roundtrip). So... my vote for nuSOAP. However, if you are using the native extension and have specific needs for the XML request, you can override the __doRequest() method http://php.net/manual/en/function.soap-soapclient-dorequest.php (there's an example in the manual notes).
