simple php SoapClient example for paypal needed

Could I get a simple example of using php's SoapClient class to make an empty call to paypal with nothing but the Version number? I have the correct WSDL url and server url so that's not what I need help with.. This is what I have:

public function SOAPcall($function, $args=array()) {
    $args['Version'] = '63.0';
    $args = new SoapVar($args, SOAP_ENC_ARRAY, $function.'_Request');
    $args = array(new SoapVar($args, SOAP_ENC_ARRAY, $function.'_Req', 'urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI'));
    $results = $this->soapClient->__soapCall($function, $args, array('location' => $this->activeKeys['certificate']), $this->soapOptions);
}

I hope it's ok I am not showing everything. The body of the request comes out completely wrong as you can see below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns1="urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns2="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
      <SOAP-ENV:Header>
            <ns1:RequesterCredentials>
                  <ns2:Credentials>
                        <ns2:Username>xxx</ns2:Username>
                        <ns2:Password>xxx</ns2:Password>
                        <ns2:Signature>xxx</ns2:Signature>
                  </ns2:Credentials>
            </ns1:RequesterCredentials>
      </SOAP-ENV:Header>
      <SOAP-ENV:Body>
            <ns1:GetBalanceReq xsi:type="ns1:GetBalance_Req">
                  <xsd:string>63.0</xsd:string>
            </ns1:GetBalanceReq>
      </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

It should look like this:

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”
xmlns:SOAP-ENC=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/”
xmlns:SOAP-ENV=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/”
xmlns:xsd=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema”
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/”
><SOAP-ENV:Header>
<RequesterCredentials xmlns=”urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI”>
<Credentials xmlns=”urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents”>
<Username>api_username</Username>
<Password>api_password</Password>
<Signature/>
<Subject/>
</Credentials>
</RequesterCredentials>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<specific_api_name_Req xmlns=”urn:ebay:api:PayPalAPI”>
<specific_api_name_Request>
<Version xmlns=urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents”>service_version
</Version>
<required_or_optional_fields xsi:type=”some_type_here”> data
</required_or_optional_fields>
</specific_api_name_Request>
</specific_api_name_Req>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Of course paypal throws a "Version is not supported " error
