I can't find why an object property is not in return value
<?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;
}
public function getInfo(){
return "".
$this->common_name;
$this->flavor;
$this->record_weight;
}
}
$p = new Fish();
$bass = new Fish ("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
echo $p->getInfo();
?>
