PHP SoapClient should produce StdClass object with fields s-gensym1437,  
s-gensym1439, etc, e.g.:

object(stdClass)#1 (2) {
   ["s-gensym1234"]=>
   string(3) "xyz"
   ["s-gensym1235"]=>
   string(3) "abc"
}

You should be able to iterate on this object using foreach. If you prefer  
working on arrays, you can do something like this:

$gensym = array();

foreach ($result as $name => $value)
{
	// if name contains "s-gensym"
	if (false !== strpos($name, "s-gensym"))
	{
		$gensym[] = $value;
	}
}

Resulting $gensym array will contain all string values sent as  
s-gensym****.
