I want to clarify what the use cases are for PHP's SoapClient::__soapCall() vs SoapClient::__doRequest() methods.

As I understand it, both send SOAP requests to a SOAP endpoint with the main difference being that doRequest() sends a string of raw (SOAP) XML which you have composed yourself using the DOMDocument class, string concatenation or something else whereas soapCall() creates the request XML for you from an array of parameters that you pass to it?

Is this correct and are there any other thoughts on when to use which?
