calling php function from string (with parameters)

Question

i'd like to run a php-function dynamically by using this string:

do_lightbox('image1.jpg', 'picture 1')

i've parsed the string like this:

$exe = "do_lightbox";
$pars = "'image1.jpg', 'picture 1'";

and tried using the following code:

$rc = call_user_func($exe, $pars);

unfortunately this gives me an error - i've also tried splitting the $pars like

$pars = explode(',', $pars);

but didn't help ..

any ideas? thanks

I think this is what you're after:

$exe = "do_lightbox";
$pars = array('image1.jpg', 'picture 1');

$rc = call_user_func_array($exe, $pars);
