Extending Object-Oriented PHP Challenge

Hi everyone,

I found this part of the course extremely confusing and wish the videos would just take more time to explain it in detail. Basically, I struggled to follow along and now cannot seem to pass this quiz. Could somebody walk me through the solution? It's very much appreciated!

P.S. Any additional tips that would help me grasp that part of the course are also welcome.

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);
  }
}
Client.php 
<?php
//add code for Client class
?>

Thank you, I actually figured it out on my own but I still think the videos could be a little more descriptive. I am still struggling with the logic behind these operations.
