You must enable the trace option in your SOAPClient constructor:

$client = new SOAPClient('my.wsdl', array('trace' => true));

I will update the PHP Manual to mention this.

As to whether using cURL is a better alternative, well, I guess if
it's working for you, then it's okay. But even if you manage to create
the SOAP Envelope correctly and POST it, you're still stuck parsing
it, which doesn't sound like a fun job. (Well, I guess it depends if
you're using rpc/encoded or doc/lit.) YMMV.
