Fonctions de rappel
I noticed two important thing about putting callbacks into an arg list when calling a function:
1. The function to which the callback refers must be defined earlier in the source stream. So for example:
function main() {...; usort($array, 'sortfunction'); ... }
function sortfunction($a, $b){ return 0; }
Will NOT work, but this will:
function sortfunction($a, $b){ return 0; }
function main() {...; usort($array, 'sortfunction'); ... }
2. It's not really just a string. For example, this doesn't work:
usort($array, ($reverse?'reversesorter':'forwardsorter'));
I found these two discoveries quite counterintuitive.
Variables et pseudo-types utilisés dans cette documentation
mixed
mixed indique qu'un paramètre peut accepter plusieurs (mais pas nécessairement tous) types.
gettype() par exemple, accepte tous les types PHP, alors que str_replace() accepte les chaînes et les tableaux.
number
number indique qu'un paramètre peut être soit un nombre entier, soit un nombre décimal (nombre décimal).
callback
Les pseudo-types callback étaient utilisés dans cette documentation avant que le type callable ne soit introduit en PHP 5.4. Leur signification est exactement la même.
void
void comme type retourné signifie que la valeur retournée est inutile. void dans une liste de paramètre signifie que la fonction n'accepte aucun paramètre.
...
$... dans le prototype d'une fonction signifie
"et bien plus...". Ce nom de variable est utilisé
lorsqu'une fonction peut prendre un nombre indéfini d'arguments.

The documentation is a little confusing, and with the recent OO changes it adds a little more to the confusion.
I was curious whether you could pass an object through the user func, modify it in that callback and have the actual object updated or whether some cloning was going on behind the scenes.
<?php
class Test
{
var $sValue = 'abc';
function testing($objTest)
{
$objTest->sValue = '123';
}
}
$obj = new Test();
call_user_func(array($obj, 'testing'), $obj);
var_dump($obj);
?>
This works as expected: The object is not cloned, and $sValue is properly set to '123'. With the OO changes in PHP 5, you don't need to do "function testing(&$objTest)" as it is already passed by reference.

An example with PHP 5.3 and lambda functions
<?php
array_map (function ($value) {
return new MyFormElement ($value);
}, $_POST);
?>

Parent methods for callbacks should be called 'parent::method', so if you wish to call a non-static parent method via a callback, you should use a callback of
<?
// always works
$callback = array($this, 'parent::method')
// works but gives an error in PHP5 with E_STRICT if the parent method is not static
$callback array('parent', 'method');
?>

To recap mr dot lilov at gmail dot com's comment: If you want to pass a function as an argument to another function, for example "array_map", do this:
regular functions:
<?
array_map(intval, $array)
?>
static functions in a class:
<?
array_map(array('MyClass', 'MyFunction'), $array)
?>
functions from an object:
<?
array_map(array($this, 'MyFunction'), $array)
?>
I hope this clarifies things a little bit

If you pass a string as the callback function (i.e., 2nd parm to preg_replace_callback()), then PHP will interpret it as a function's name in the current scope -- and Main::dada_cb is not a valid function name in any scope.
If you want to specify a static method of a class as the callback (i.e., "Main::dada_cb"), then you must pass as 2nd parm to preg_replace_callback:
array( 'Main', 'dada_cb')
And, if you want to use as a callback some method of an instantiated object (i.e., $object->dada_cb), then you must pass as the 2nd parm to preg_replace_callback:
array( $object, 'dada_cb' )

The mixed pseudotype is explained as meaning "multiple but not necessarily all" types, and the example of str_replace(mixed, mixed, mixed) is given where "mixed" means "string or array".
Keep in mind that this refers to the types of the function's arguments _after_ any type juggling.

Note that (e.g.) usort calls on static methods of classes in a namespace need to be laid out as follows:
usort($arr, array('\Namespace\ClassName', 'functionName'));
