Description:
------------
When sending the same object multiple times in a SOAP call, SoapClient replaces the object with a href='..' object reference. However the client generates the request envelope with an incorrect parameter name, so the server does not get the referenced object.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Sources of a simple server and client could be found at the following URL: http://charlie.extra.hu/php-soap/soap.tar.gz

If I run client.php, it gets back an object filled with null parameters. It should recieve the first object sent to the server.
If I change the reference's parameter name to 'secondUser', the SOAP response includes the correct object.

Expected result:
----------------
Expected the following soap envelope to be sent:

<SOAP-ENV:test>
  <firstUser id="ref1">
    <userId>1</userId>
    <userName>user</userName>
  </firstUser>
  <secondUser href="#ref1"/>
</SOAP-ENV:test>

Actual result:
--------------
Got this request:

<SOAP-ENV:test>
  <firstUser id="ref1">
    <userId>1</userId>
    <userName>user</userName>
  </firstUser>
  <firstUser href="#ref1"/>
</SOAP-ENV:test>

Confirmed in PHP 5.3.4, still the same bug. The only fix for us is porting the SOAP library from 5.2.0, which has other, more manageable bugs.

@ bulk at janoszen dot hu: which PHP 5.2 version could you confirm as working as expected?
 [2011-01-24 12:27 UTC] bulk at janoszen dot hu 
We currently patch the SOAP library from 5.2.0 into our installations, which works as expected.

This bug is now open for more than 2 years. Would somebody please take a look at it?
