SOAP request in PHP with CURL

Since the SOAP manual on php.net is not very noob friendly and I could not find any good examples I will post my question here. How can I create PHP SOAP request to look like this? POST /MySERVER/myWSDLservice.asmx HTTP/1.1 Host: connection.mywebsite.com Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length SOAPAction: "http://connection.mywebsite.com/MySERVER/GetCarType" <?xml version="1.0
