I believe the WSDL has the information required.
The getGenes operation is defined as
<wsdl:operation name="getGenes" parameterOrder="in0">
<wsdl:input name="getGenesRequest" message="impl:getGenesRequest"/>
<wsdl:output name="getGenesResponse" message="impl:getGenesResponse"/>
<wsdl:fault name="SOAPException" message="impl:SOAPException"/>
</wsdl:operation>
The getGenesRequest message is defined as
<wsdl:message name="getGenesRequest">
<wsdl:part name="in0" type="apachesoap:Map"/>
</wsdl:message>
The apachesoap:Map type is defined as
<complexType name="Map">
<sequence>
<element name="item" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="apachesoap:mapItem"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
The apachesoap:mapItem type is defined as
<complexType name="mapItem">
<sequence>
<element name="key" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="value" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
This means that each element of a Map looks like a PHP associative array with two elements
$mapItem = array('key'=>'symbol', 'value' => $symbol);
To create a Map, you would do something like
$items[] = array('key'=>'symbol1', 'value' => $symbol1);
$items[] = array('key'=>'symbol2', 'value' => $symbol2);
$items[] = array('key'=>'symbol3', 'value' => $symbol3);
$map = array('item' => $items);
