Webservice SOAP php zend-soap - return an array

Question

I have a simple web service in php with zend-soap framework

My web service class in hellows.php:

class Hello
{
    /**
     * Say hello.
     *
     * @param string $firstName
     * @param string $lastName
     * @param int $age
     * @return array $aboutMe
     */
    public function sayHello($firstName, $lastName, $age)
    {

        return $aboutMe = [
            "name" => $firstName,
            "lastName" => $lastName,
            "age" => $age
        ];
    }

}

AutoDiscover configuration:

$serverUrl = "http://localhost/zend/hellows.php";
$options = [
    'uri' => $serverUrl,
];
$server = new Zend\Soap\Server(null, $options);

if (isset($_GET['wsdl'])) {
    $soapAutoDiscover = new \Zend\Soap\AutoDiscover(/*new \Zend\Soap\Wsdl\ComplexTypeStrategy\ArrayOfTypeSequence()*/);
    $soapAutoDiscover->setBindingStyle(array('style' => 'document'));
    $soapAutoDiscover->setOperationBodyStyle(array('use' => 'literal'));
    $soapAutoDiscover->setClass('Hello');
    $soapAutoDiscover->setUri($serverUrl);

    header("Content-Type: text/xml");
    echo $soapAutoDiscover->generate()->toXml();
} else {
    $soap = new \Zend\Soap\Server($serverUrl . '?wsdl');
    $soap->setObject(new \Zend\Soap\Server\DocumentLiteralWrapper(new Hello()));
    $soap->handle();
}

My Web Service Client:

$client = new Zend\Soap\Client('http://localhost/zend/hellows.php?wsdl');
$result = $client->sayHello(['firstName' => 'Jose', 'lastName' => 'Ramirez', 'age'=>20]);

All code earlier shown work fine, the issue is when I dump result variable (from client file), it show me:

echo "<pre>";
var_dump($result);
...

object(stdClass)#4 (1) {
  ["sayHelloResult"]=>
  string(5) "Array"
}

sayHelloResult index has an unique value "Array", when it should return an array value type. The questions is... it's posible return an array or only string type.

What I am doing wrong?
