I agree, the documentation could need some brush-up.

Actually it is for both server and client. Read more later.

This is perfectly normal due to the fact that PHP is not a statical typed
language. Had you tried implementing the client in C++ or C# the server
would have serialized the SoapParam to a native C++ or C# class. In PHP
you have to do this yourself, Eg. you must provide a private method in the
server class which is capable of converting from a standard class to the
required class:
1)
a) $myObj = new MyObj();
b) $myObj->import(stdClass $a);
2) a) $myObj = MyObj::import(stdClass $a);
When dealing with WSDL I would recommend you to always try your WSDL in a
WSDL parser like:
1) Mono: wsdl <WSDL file>
2) C++/gsoap: wsdl2h <WSDL file>
