I cant figure it out

syntax or logical error?

palindromic_primes.php 
<?php 

$palindromic_primes = array(11, 757, 16361);
function mimic_array_sum($palindromic_primes){


 $sum = 0;
foreach($palindromic_primes as $number) {
    $sum = $sum + $number;
  }

  return $sum;
}

$sum = mimic_array_sum();



echo $sum;

?>

Hi Gavin,

You forgot to pass the array when you called the function at the end.

$sum = mimic_array_sum();

should be:

$sum = mimic_array_sum($palindromic_primes);
