$classname = "myclass" ;

call_user_func (array( $classname , 'say_hello' ));
?>

注: Note that the parameters for call_user_func() are not passed by reference.

<?php
function increment (& $var )
{
    
$var ++;
}

$a = 0 ;
call_user_func ( 'increment' , $a );
echo
$a ; // 0

call_user_func_array ( 'increment' , array(& $a )); // You can use this instead
echo $a ; // 1
?>
