__autoload
You don't have to write a new function, <?php call_user_func_array(array($obj, $method_name), $params); ?> works pretty fine! (to my mind, 'eval' fucntion should be avoided almost all the time)

If you this function will be deleted in future php releases you can use this function:
<?
function _call_user_method_array($name, $obj, $params) {
// get params
$txt = "";
foreach($params as $nr => $el) {
$txt.='$params['.$nr."], ";
}
$txt = substr($txt, 0, strlen($txt)-2);
// run it
return eval('return call_user_method($name, $obj, '.$txt.');');
}
?>
Hope this helps somebody.
