Class a static method with parameter from a class which's name is stored in a variable

Question

Basically I'm trying to do this

$className = 'myClass';

$className::myMethod($aParameter);

but I'm getting a unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, however I read that I could replycate

$className::myMethod();

with

call_user_func(array($className, 'myMethod'));

the only problem now is that I really need to pass that paremeter, any idea on how can I get around this?

Just add the parameter. call_user_func() accepts an unlimited additional parameters that it will pass on to the called function.

call_user_func(array($className, 'myMethod'), $aParameter);

I see! I was getting really confused regarding the parameter on class_user_func, i was indeed passing the parameter in the array().
