Don't understand why the program says my object is not right

They wanted me to create an object names "bluegill" that is an instance of the class Fish. Did i not get it right? it keeps saying 'Bummer! try again'

class Fish { // my class }

$bluegill = new Fish();

?>

fish.php 
<?php

class Fish 
{ // my class }

$bluegill  =  new Fish();

?>

Hey. Well, if this is really the Code you're trying, you need to place your second bracket on a new Line, because you commented it out. So your Code should look like this:

<?php

class Fish 
{ // my class 
}

$bluegill  =  new Fish();

?>
