First, you’ll need PHP’s SOAP extension installed and enabled. Then:

$url = "https://services.smartturn.com/occam/services/OccamService?wsdl";

$data = array(
    "UserId"               => "secret",
    "Password"             => "secret",
    "type"                 => "EXTERNAL",
    "date"                 => "2012-10-20T00:04:34.479Z",
    "dateDue"              => "2012-10-20T00:04:34.479Z",
    "externalNumber"       => "Ext-id-00502",
    "customerName"         => "test ",
    "customerContact"      => "customer Contact",
    "customerContactPhone" => "123456789",
    "salesRep"             => "w salesRep",
);

try {
    $soapClient = new SoapClient($url, array(
        'trace' => true, // for debugging, disable in production
        //"connection_timeout" => 1
    ));

    // List types to get an idea how to call methods, since it looks like
    // there are no help pages as in .asmx services
    // var_dump($soapClient->__getTypes());

    $soapClient->saveSalesOrder($data);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    trigger_error("SOAP error: ".$e->getMessage(), E_USER_WARNING);
}
