PHP equivalent of Python's func(*[args])

Question

In Python I can do this:

def f(a, b, c):
    print a, b, c

f(*[1, 2, 3])

How do you say this in PHP?

Answer 1

Use call_user_func_array:

call_user_func_array('f', array(1, 2, 3));

If you wanted to call a class method, you'd use array($instance, 'f') instead of 'f' and if it was a static class function you'd use array('ClassName', 'f') or 'ClassName::f'. See the callback type docs for details about that.
