Create this SOAP XML request with PHP's SOAP extension - php

Question

I'm trying to recreate this XML request using PHP's SOAP extension and having trouble doing it:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://services.web.stormpost.skylist.com">
<soapenv:Header>
<authInfo xmlns:soap="http://skylist.com/services/SoapRequestProcessor" xsi:type="soap:authentication">
<!--You may enter the following 2 items in any order-->
<username xsi:type="xsd:string">****#example.com</username>
<password xsi:type="xsd:string">*******</password>
</authInfo>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<ser:doImportFromTemplate soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<impTempId xsi:type="xsd:int">7</impTempId>
<data xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xsi:type="soapenc:string">
Joe|Doe|joe#example.com John|Doe|john#example.com </data>
</ser:doImportFromTemplate>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Here is my testing code so far:
// set connection params
$wsdl = 'http://api.stormpost.datranmedia.com/services/SoapRequestProcessor?wsdl';
$namespace = 'https://api.stormpost.datranmedia.com/services/SoapRequestProcessor';
$credentials = (object)array(
'username' => '****#example.com',
'password' => '*******'
);
$auth_values = new SoapVar($credentials, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT);
$header = new SoapHeader($namespace, "authInfo", $auth_values);
// set client, headers, and call function
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array('trace' => true));
$client->__setSoapHeaders(array($header));
$client->__soapCall("doImportFromTemplate", array(7, 'Joe|Doe|joe#example.com John|Doe|john#example.com'));
It doesn't seem to be implementing the authInfo node correctly with the xsi:type="soap:authentication" among other things. How should I change my code to output this XML? I'm having trouble finding good implementation examples.

I struggled with the php SOAP client myself a while ago, i didn't really got a full understanding but this worked for me:
$auth_values = array('username' => '****#example.com', 'password' => '*******');
$header = new SoapHeader($namespace, "authInfo", $auth_values, false);
// set client, headers, and call function
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array('trace' => true));
$client->__setSoapHeaders(array($header));
