After looking some references I found out that you must use SOAP 1.1
if you want to use encoded version:

Or you can use something like binding SOAP 1.1 function to SOAP 1.2 as
described on this article :

Notice that SoapClient used SOAP 1.2 namespaces correctly in the SOAP
request. This confirms that SOAP Extension in PHP 5.3.1 does support
RPC method based Web services defined in WSDL 1.1 with SOAP 1.2
binding.
