call_user_func_array Call a user function given with an array of parameters &reftitle.description; mixedcall_user_func_array callbackfunction arrayparam_arr Call a user defined function with the parameters in param_arr. &reftitle.parameters; function The function to be called. param_arr The parameters to be passed to the function, as an indexed array. &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns the function result, or &false; on error. &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 5.3.0 The interpretation of object oriented keywords like parent and self has changed. Previously, calling them using the double colon syntax would emit an E_STRICT warning because they were interpreted as static. &reftitle.examples; bar() method with 2 arguments $foo = new foo; call_user_func_array(array($foo, "bar"), array("three", "four")); ?> ]]> &example.outputs.similar; ]]> &example.outputs.similar; ]]> &example.outputs; &reftitle.notes; Referenced variables in param_arr are passed to the function by reference, regardless of whether the function expects the respective parameter to be passed by reference. This form of call-time pass by reference does not emit a deprecation notice, but it is nonetheless deprecated, and will most likely be removed in the next version of PHP. Furthermore, this does not apply to internal functions, for which the function signature is honored. Passing by value when the function expects a parameter by reference results in a warning and having call_user_func return &false; (does not apply if the passed value has a reference count = 1). ¬e.func-callback-exceptions; &reftitle.seealso; call_user_func &seealso.callback;
