What you have observed is one mode of operation in WSF/PHP. Here you can 
specify the xml to be sent and received. In addition WSF/PHP also 
supports WSDL mode operation, where you can specify a wsdl and a class 
map and implement business logic while WSF/PHP takes care of handling 
xml. Also it ships with a script to generate client/server code 
corresponding to the given WSDL.

You can find further details here.
