"Is there a more direct approach where I could write the XML?"

By using a SoapVar and setting the encode parameter of the constructor to XSD_ANYXML you can write the raw XML.

There should be a way where the WSDL helps build the XML though.

You could try something like this:

$wsdl   = "http://api.notificationmessaging.com/NMSOAP/NotificationService?wsdl"; 
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array(  'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,
                                        'trace' => true,
                                      )); 
try {

    $xml = '
            
                
                    1
