Help with this question please, php. Thanks.

Write the code inside this mimic_array_sum() function. That code should add up all individual numbers in the array and return the sum. You’ll need to use a foreach command to loop through the argument array, a working variable to keep the running total, and a return command to send the sum back to the main code. Code challlenge Q.2 This is what i've got so far?..

<?php 
function mimic_array_sum($array){
    $sum = 0;
  foreach($array as $number){
  $sum = $sum + $number;
  }
  return = $sum;
}
$palindromic_primes = array(11, 757, 16361);
$sum = mimic_array_sum($palindromic_primes);
echo $sum;
?>

Hi James,

It's time to kick yourself. Remove the equals sign from the return statement.
