Having problems with the mid course challenge of Object-Oriented PHP

I'm having problems with task 4 of this code challenge. Can I be given hints how to solve this?

fish.php 
<?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;

  }
$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
}

?>

Take a close look at your closing brace of the class, it should be closed before the declaration.

Hello Shelby,

You said to give you a hint so I wont spoil it for you. You have a mistake. Take a closer look at the places where you have put the curly braces. If you can't find it write again and I'll tell you the problem.

  Okay now, I'm having problems with task 5, again only hints. I added public function getInfo with returns, the $this-> code with product name being fish then common_name, flavor, record_weight.
