create a method on fish named getinfo that takes no parameters and returns a string that include the common_name , flovor , and record_weight for the fish. when called on $bass getInfo might return" a Largemouth Bass is an Excellent floavored fish. the world record weight is 22 pounds 5 ounces."

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;
  }

  //method

  1. Capitalize Fish.
  2. You need to call the method. echo $bass->getinfo();
  3. Your getinfo method has no actual info.

Should look something like this:

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