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.
