  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
    $this->common_name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record_weight = $record;
  }

  public function getInfo(){
    return "A ". $this->common_name, "is an ". $this->flavor, "flavored fish. The world record weight is ". $this->record_weight;

It looks like your concatenation is wrong. You're using commas in some places when you should be using a period.

Thanks Mike that was how I originally had it. I got it to work when I commented out the echo at the bottom.
