Passing parameters with call_user_func?

Question

Is there a way to call a function using call_user_func and pass it parameters? For instance I have

function test($args)
{
    echo "I DID IT!";
}

however I cannot call this function because it has a paramter which is not being passed by

call_user_func("test");

is there a way to call the function and provide parameters to it? (for instance, the ability to pass in a list arguments)? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It takes you less time to write this question than to google "call_user_func"? — Francis Avila

@FrancisAvila: googlability of a question does not make it invalid. This site is also supposed to be a reference for others. — Dreen

If you were to read the documentation you would see that call_user_func() accepts a variable number of arguments:

call_user_func('test', 'argument1', 'argument2');

You can also use call_user_func_array('callback', array('array','of','arguments')).

I tried the second solution, but instead of multiple arguments it's going as single argument

Did you change the function name from call_user_func to call_user_func_array? Because it should be passed as multiple arguments.

Use call_user_func_array, you can supply a list of parameters as array.
