I am stuck in this exercise and cannot figure it out. What am I doing wrong?

<?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 "Fish Name: ". $this->common_name, $this->flavor, $this->record_weight;

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

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 "Fish Name: ". $this->common_name, $this->flavor, $this->record_weight;

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

Here is how I was able to fix it:

Public function getInfo(){ return "A ". $this->common_name . "is an ". $this->flavor . "The world record weight is ". $this->record_weight . "."; }

If I can make a suggestion - when you solve your own problem, be sure to write out the solution for others. They may find this thread from searching and have the same issue as you.

Glad you got it working!
