Question

I can not seem to find out how to set an attribute to a SOAP request without using the XSD_ANYXML encoding.

The request parameter should look as fol

For this, you need to derived the class from SoapClient and Override the method __doRequest():

class ABRSoapClient extends SoapClient {

    // return xml request
    function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version) {
        $dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
        $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
        $xml= $dom->loadXML($request);
        // Goto request Node and Set the attribute
        $attr_ns = $dom->createAttributeNS('xmlns:ns', '' ); // instead of xmlns:ns use Namespace URL
        $attr_ns->value = '/some/ns';
        // add atribute in businessReport node 
        $dom->getElementsByTagName($report_type)->item(0)->appendChild( $attr_ns );   
        $request = $dom->saveXML();
        return parent::__doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version);
    }
}

$client = new ABRSoapClient(.....);
$save_result = $client->request($param);

// You can check the form request using function
$client->__getLastRequest();

I hope this will resolve your problem.
