Operating system: 
PHP version:      8.0.3
Package:          Documentation problem
Bug Type:         Documentation Problem
Bug description:SoapVar optional parameter types depend on PHP version

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/soapvar.construct
and https://php.net/class.soapvar
---

Both the SoapVar main page and constructor documentation state that the
optional parameters only accept string (and have an empty string as
default value).

This changed with PHP 8:
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/32d128d219f2d2d0767103091b4209a28f48b4ac
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/soap/soap.stub.php#L28

They are now all nullable and have NULL as default value.

The documentation needs to be updated in such a way that both variants
are covered. It's important because e.g. PHP 7.4 won't accept NULL
(TypeError) while PHP 8 will.
