There is also nusoap. I'm not sure if it provides the functionality you
require, you'll have to decide that for yourself.

Tell them to move to PHP5. Much better support for SOAP. Plus from the end of
the year PHP4 will no longer be fully supported, see www.php.net for more. A
big incentive for them to upgrade. Or get a new server for this project to
sit on.
