Treehouse StaffWhen you instantiate a class you have to be outside of it, you were still inside of fish.
<?php
class Fish
{
public $common_name;
public $flavor;
public $record_weight;
function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
$this->common_name = $name;
$this->flavor = $flavor;
$this->record_weight = $record;
}
public function getInfo() {
return "A {$this->common_name} is an {$this->flavor} flavored fish. The world record weight is {$this->record_weight}.";
}
}
$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass","Excellent","22 pounds 5 ounces");
?>
