Getting the response result as an array and not a object in web service

There is a php application which will read the result from the web service i have created. The xml response they want is like 

 <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Header />
  <s:Body>
    <WorkResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
        <WorkResult>Name<WorkResult>
        <WorkResult>Occupation<WorkResult>
      </WorkResult>
    </WorkResponse>
  </s:Body>

But my method return like this `

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Header />
  <s:Body>
    <WorkResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
      <WorkResult xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <a:string>Name</a:string>
        <a:string>Occupation</a:string>
      </WorkResult>
    </WorkResponse>
  </s:Body>`

And below is the method I have written in the web service

public string[] Work()
    {
        string[] request = new String[2];
        request[0] = "Name";
        request[1] = "Occupation";
        return request;
    }

How can I do to get the result they want. Please help me to come out of this issue

If you need WorkResult node to contain both "Name" and "Occupation" and at the same level in the xml, you can achieve it returning a List in your WebMethod Work(). Here is an example:

public List<String> Work()
{
    public List<String> result = new List<String>();
    result.Add("Name");
    result.Add("Occupation");

    return result;
}
