Not sure what version of PHP your using, but my version of PHP is properly
setting
the xsi:nil on NULL values. I found this bug while searching for issue with
"disappearing nodes when value is null".

Description:
------------
This is a duplicate of #41745 but that's been stuck on "No Feedback" since
2007, so I thought I'd re-post.
When null is provided for a SOAP parameter or the field of an object passed as
a SOAP parameter, PHP incorrectly encodes the parameter as being empty (e.g.
object with all null fields, or empty string) which is different from an actual
null. This breaks access to real-world web services.
Test script:
---------------
---------------
$soap = new SoapClient('/path/to/wsdl', array('trace' => true));
$soap->operation(null);
echo $soap->__getLastRequest();
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:ns1="NAMESPACE"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:operation>
<paramName xsi:nil="true"/>
</ns1:operation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:ns1="NAMESPACE">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:operation>
<paramName/>
</ns1:operation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
