The array_sum() function receives an array "as its one and only argument" and returns the sum. So when calling it, you don't have to make it's logic for it, just pass an array as the parameter and do something with the returning value (in this case you could assign it to a variable or echo it out directly).
<?php
$numbers = array(1,5,8);
$sum = array_sum($numbers);
echo $sum;
?>
or, if the only reason for making the sum is to echoing it:
<?php
$numbers = array(1,5,8);
echo array_sum($numbers);
?>
