Not sure what im doing wrong stuck on task 3

In the main code, outside of the function, use the new mimic_array_sum() function you just wrote. Store the return value in a variable called $sum, and then display that sum to the screen.

This is how I got to Task 3 :

<?php 

function mimic_array_sum( $array ){

  $count = 0;

    foreach( $array as $total ){
            $count = $count + $total;
  }
  return $count;

};

$palindromic_primes = array( 11, 757, 16361 );

echo mimic_array_sum( $palindromic_primes );

?>

And this what I think it wants to me do :

<?php 

function mimic_array_sum( $array ){

  $count = 0;

    foreach( $array as $total ){
            $count = $count + $total;
  }
  return $count;

};

$palindromic_primes = array( 11, 757, 16361 );

echo mimic_array_sum( $palindromic_primes );

mimic_array_sum( $palindromic_primes ) = $sum;

echo $sum;

?>

Never mind I got it I just to change it to this:

$sum = mimic_array_sum( $palindromic_primes );

echo $sum;
