php call class function by string name

How can I call a normal (not static) class function by its name?

The below gives an error saying param 1 needs to be a valid callback. I don’t want the function to be static, I want it to be a normal function, and all the examples I’ve seen so far had them static.

You can also do it without call_user_func:
