Whereas, replacing the call_user_func above with the following: call_user_func($name, array($param1));

Well, I thought that the function call_user_func_array() is supposed to

be

called this way. What good is it anyway? I suggest

'call_user_func_array'

should be removed as it is not needed and also doesn't work with user functions that expect arguments by reference.

Well it is needed... If you need to decide how many arguments to pass to a function at execution time then the call_user_func_array() function is critical.

But you said that 'call_user_func' can be also called like this:

    call_user_func($function_name, array($arg1, arg2, arg3));

Where's the difference between call_user_func and call_user_func_array?

Right, that was a brain fart, I corrected that in the above message. -Sterling
