Ok so Im working on this challenge and I am on the last step, and I am am supposed to echo some of the parameters, and I can't seem to figure out what works.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and/or what I need to add.
<?php
class Fish {
public $common_name = 'Hi';
public $flavor = 'Hello';
public $record_weight = 0;
function __construct($name, $flavor, $record) {
$this->common_name = $name;
$this->flavor = $flavor;
$this->record_weight = $record;
}
function getInfo() {
echo "A $this->common_name is an $this->flavor flavored fish. The world record weight is $this->record_weight";
}
getInfo();
}
$bass = new Fish('Largemouth Bass', 'Excellent', '22 pounds 5 ounces')
?>

Treehouse Moderator 145,858 PointsHey Adam, Your code is pretty much correct in Syntax, but there are a few things that the challenge did NOT ask for and therefore will not let you pass.
First, You do not need any values in your opening declaration of the three values.</br> Second, the task asks you to return the string not echo it.</br> Third, the task doesn't ask for the function to be called.</br>
Other than that, good job. Just remember that challenges are VERY picky and VERY strict. If you take away or add it will more often than not... not let you pass.
Here is the corrected code:
<?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;
}
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')
?>
Keep Coding! :)
