How to call static function defined in variable?

I'm writing my own MVC framework, and i need to call static function
I have routing defined in ini file like this 

[someAction]
route[] = /someroute
layout = layoutname
action[] = someAction@SomeController

after matching routing im using explode() function to split action and controller

$action = explode('@', $this->_action); 
//$this->_action = someAction@SomeController

and now I wanna call 

$action[1]::$action[0]();

But php thinks that I wanna call static field instead of method, can somebody tell me how to call it as method ?

You can call it this way:

<?php

    list($action, $controller) = explode('@', $this->_action);
    $controller::$action();

?>

You can use call_user_func()

Try this : 

call_user_func(array($action[1],$action[0]));

edit : depending of your PHP version, PeeHaa's comment is a good idea !
