Passing PHP array in SOAP call

Question

So, I'm trying to include the following XML in my SOAP request:

<Responses>
    <Response>
        <QuestionAnswerID>someint</QuestionAnswerID>
        <QuestionID>someint</QuestionID>
    </Response>
    <Response>
        <QuestionAnswerID>someint</QuestionAnswerID>
        <QuestionID>someint</QuestionID>
    </Response>
</Responses>

I looked through this publication, which is vaguely related to the same topic, but it produces the output as follows:

object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
    ["Responses"]=>
    object(stdClass)#2 (1) {
        ["Response"]=>
        array(2) {
            [0]=>
            object(stdClass)#3 (2) {
                ["QuestionAnswerID"]=>
                int(someint)
                ["QuestionID"]=>
                int(someint)
            }
            [1]=>
            object(stdClass)#4 (2) {
                ["QuestionAnswerID"]=>
                int(someint)
                ["SurveyQuestionID"]=>
                int(someint)
            }
        }
    }
}

The problem is that arrays now have indexes that I think the web service I call does not like. Anyway, can I generate something like the above XML?

TIA.

It's hard to test this without using a SOAP server with your WSDL. You should be able to create associative arrays like this:

$responses = array();
$responses[] = array("QuestionAnswerID" => someint, "QuestionID" => someint);
$responses[] = array("QuestionAnswerID" => someint, "QuestionID" => someint);

$response = array("Response" => $responses);

$soapData = array("Responses" => $response);
