How to call class static and unstatic method with call_user_func()?

Question

I've custom code where I run class methods:

$object = new UserClass();
$method = 'create';
$params = ['name' => 'John'];

$reflectionMethod = new \ReflectionMethod($object, $method);

if($reflectionMethod->isStatic()) {
    return $object::$method($params);
} else {
    return $object->$method($params);
}

How I can run class method without checking if the method type is static or not, with one line if possible?

class UserClass {
    public static function foo(string $name) {
        echo 'hi ', $name, "\n";
    }

    public function bar(string $name) {
        echo "bye ", $name, "\n";
    }
}

$object  = new UserClass();
$methods = ['foo', 'bar'];


foreach ($methods as $method) {
    call_user_func([$object, $method], "Bobby");
}

Outputs:

hi Bobby
bye Bobby

call_user_func() does not care if the method is static or not. It work in both cases.

How to pass args then @yivi ?

Or call_user_func_array([ $object, $method ], $params );

Any arguments after the callable are passed to the called method.
