PHP Extending Object-Oriented PHP Extending the Family Grandchild Relationships

Bummer! Use the keyword "this" to access internal properties.

I don't know why my getter is not passing.

The Questions is:

Step 1: In the Manager.php file, create a new class named "Manager" that takes it's initial abilities and attributes from both the User class, and the Developer class. Step 2: Add a new Manager array property named "reports" along with its GETTERS and SETTERS.

Step 1 ask me to create a child from Developer (which is a child from User). Step two is pretty straightforward, but I just forgot something I can't see.

Thanks

User.php 
<?php
//do not modify this file
class User {
    protected $name;
    protected $title;

    public function __construct($name = null, $title = null) {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->title = $title;
    }

    public function __toString() {
        return $this->getSalutation();
    }

    public function getSalutation() {
        return $this->title . " " . $this->name;
    }

    public function getName() {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setName($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getTitle() {
        return $this->title;
    }

    public function setTitle($title) {
        $this->title = $title;
    }
}
Developer.php 
<?php
//do not modify this file
class Developer extends User 
{
  protected $skills;

  public function getSkills() {
      return $this->skills;
  }

  public function setSkills($array) {
      $this->skills = $array;
  }

  public function displayUserSkills() {
      return $this->getName() . ' has the following skills: ' . implode(", ", $this->skills);
  }
}
Manager.php 
<?php
//add code for Manager class here

class Manager extends Developer
{
  protected $reports = array();

   public function setReports($value)
  {
    $this->reports[] = $value;
  }

   public function getReports()
  {
    return $this->reports;
  }

}

YEsss... Thanks dude. I should have tried that. I thought it was the getter but it was the setter. I was pushing a $value in the array but it seems the parameter at the setter isn't a value like in an "add" function, but an array itself. Gonna rewatch a few vids.

Thanks for the reply.
