constructor function issue

i am using notepad ++, everything was working fine until i added the constructor to it.

function __construct($name, $price, $desc) { $this->name = $name; $this->price = $price; $this->desc = $desc; } // the following is my entire code. the constructor does not work. i have no clue why it does not work. // everything was working fine until i added the constructor <?php class Product { public $name ='default_name'; public $price = 0; public $desc ='default description'; //constructor function __construct($name, $price, $desc) { $this->name = $name; $this->price = $price; $this->desc = $desc; }

//$p= new product(); //$p->name=" Space Juicie "; //echo $p->name; public function getInfo(){ // public method

return "product name: ". $this->name; } } $p= new product(); //echo $p->getInfo(); $shirt = new Product("Space Juice T-shirt", 20, "Awsome Grey T-shirt"); $soda = new Product("Space Juice Soda", 2, "Grape Flavored Thirst Mutilator"); echo $shirt->getInfo(); //echo $soda->getInfo();

?>

Can you post more of your code? Like where is this construct being put? It might help to narrow it down more

$p= new product(); here you have to add the parameter from your constructor try

$p= new product('Space Juicie', 10, 'desc example');
