New Comment:
I don't know what is meant by "calling instances", I assume he means
"ability to call a method of a class" - This information should be
present, but not on this page.
I think we need some information about the "callback" type. This
information really isn't specific to call_user_func, either.
I suggest we pop a language.types.callback page in, and link it somehow
from pages that use a callback function.

Description:
------------
the current documentation for call_user_func and
call_user_func_array does not mention that it can be
used for calling instances as well...
There is some information in one of the comments to
call_user_func.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class provider {
function myfunction($x) {
echo "burak was at $x\n";
}
}
$x= new provider();
call_user_func(array($x,'myfunction'),"a conference");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
burak was at a conference
Actual result:
--------------
The documentation does not mention that you can use
call_user_func with instance methods.
