  1. What if there is more than a single parameter to give to $mymethod ?

  2. It's just a truncated example. For multiple parameters, it's just call_user_func(array($myclass, $mymethod), $arg1, $arg2, ...); or call_user_func_array(array($myclass, $mymethod), array($arg1, $arg2, ...)); . See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func.php and http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func-array.php
