PHP Object-Oriented PHP Basics (Retired) Properties and Methods Mid-Course Challenge

How do you create a getInfo method?

I am stuck on the last challenge for Properties & Methods, which is to create a method on Fish named getInfo and returns a string, then call that method on my object $bass. When I check my code, it says Bummer, but does not explain what I did incorrectly and I cannot see an error within my code.

fish.php
<?php

class Fish {
  public $common_name = "common name";
  public $flavor = "flavor";
  public $record_weight = "record weight";

  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 .".";  
}

$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
echo $bass->getInfo();



?>

I found out what I was doing wrong in this code - I forgot to my getInfo method with a curly bracket.
