Your feature list is really cool, I've previously looked at it but I was 
deterred by your examples 
(http://wso2.org/project/wsf/php/2.0.0/docs/manual_content.html#Quick).

Where is the automatic WSDL-generation part?
I see you using code like this:

$reqPayloadString = <<<XML
<ns1:doSpellingSuggestion 
x:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xmlns:ns1="urn:GoogleSearch" 
xmlns:x="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
         <key xsi:type="xsd:string">your_key_here</key>
         <phrase xsi:type="xsd:string">tamperature</phrase>
</ns1:doSpellingSuggestion>
XML;


But that's just the marshalled code that shouldn't be in a program. I 
think that a SOAP-library is meant to explicitly hide 
communication-details from the application code.


Compare this to the Zend Framework way, all you need is this:

// return WSDL file of your service
if(isset($_GET['wsdl'])) {
     $autodiscover = new Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover();
     $autodiscover->setClass('HelloWorldService');
     $autodiscover->handle();

// handling soap requests
} else {
     // pointing to the current file here
     $soap = new Zend_Soap_Server("http://example.com/soap.php?wsdl");
     $soap->setClass('HelloWorldService');
     $soap->handle();
}


I obviously miss something. How do achieve something similar with you 
library?
