Count Function: Help - Code Challenge

Create a new function in products.php called get_products_count. This should receive no arguments, and it should return the total number of products. This new function should call our existing get_products_all function and return the number of elements in the products array. Challenge LInk http://teamtreehouse.com/library/coding-the-getproductscount-function

What am I doing wrong?

function get_products_count() {
  $total = count(get_products_all);

  return $total;
};

I even tried 

function get_products_count() {
  $products = (get_products_all);
  $total = count($products);

  return $total;
};

get_products_all is a function. Parentheses go after the function when you call it.

function get_products_count() {
  $products = get_products_all();
  $total = count($products);

  return $total;
};
