Voorbeeld: example

<?php

    echo __FUNCTION__, " got $arg and $arg2\n";
}
class foo {
    function bar($arg, $arg2) {
        echo __METHOD__, " got $arg and $arg2\n";
    }
}


// Call the foobar() function with 2 arguments
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("one", "two"));

// Call the $foo->bar() method with 2 arguments
$foo = new foo;
call_user_func_array(array($foo, "bar"), array("three", "four"));
?>
foobar got one and two
foo::bar got three and four

Voorbeeld: using namespace name

<?php

namespace Foobar;

class Foo {
    static public function test($name) {
        print "Hello {$name}!\n";
    }
}

call_user_func_array(__NAMESPACE__ .'\Foo::test', array('Hannes'));

call_user_func_array(array(__NAMESPACE__ .'\Foo', 'test'), array('Philip'));

?>
Hello Hannes!
Hello Philip!

Voorbeeld: Using lambda function

<?php

$func = function($arg1, $arg2) {
    return $arg1 * $arg2;
};

var_dump(call_user_func_array($func, array(2, 4)));

?>
int(8)

Voorbeeld: Passing values by reference

<?php

function mega(&$a){
    $a = 55;
    echo "function mega \$a=$a\n";
}
$bar = 77;
call_user_func_array('mega',array(&$bar));
echo "global \$bar=$bar\n";

?>
function mega $a=55
global $bar=55

Voorbeeld: using named arguments

<?php
function foobar($first, $second) {
    echo __FUNCTION__, " got $first and $second\n";
}

// Call the foobar() function with named arguments in non-positional order
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("second" => "two", "first" => "one"));

// Call the foobar() function with one named argument
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("foo", "second" => "bar"));

// Fatal error: Cannot use positional argument after named argument
call_user_func_array("foobar", array("first" => "one", "bar"));

?>
foobar got one and two
foobar got foo and bar

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use positional argument after named argument
