Treehouse Moderator 91,252 PointsIt looks like you need to feed your variables into the code first before you try to output their results.
<?php
$bass = new Fish();
$bass->common_name = "Largemouth Bass";
$bass->flavor = "Excellent";
$bass->record_weight = "22 pounds 5 ounces";
$bass->getInfo();
class Fish
{
public $common_name;
public $flavor;
public $record_weight;
public function getInfo()
{
echo "A" . $this->common_name . "is an" . $this->flavor . "ed fish. The world record weight is " . $this->record_weight;
}
}
?>
Now that the variables have been assigned first in this example the getinfo(); has values to echo the code to the browser, since the code compiles top to bottom. :-)

902 PointsBut, ı tried the code and it gives me the same error :(
err msg : Be sure you include the fish's common name in the return value from getInfo. Use $this to reference the current object.

Treehouse Moderator 91,252 PointsHmmm bit trickier than I thought then. :/
It looks like this challenge is from a course I've not yet taken so that's what caught me out a bit. Here's a response to a similar challenge from another course that might help you. https://teamtreehouse.com/community/oop-quiz-cant-figure-out-the-problem
Declare the variables first, Add your getinfo() method and then echo out the new string as an instance of the Fish object.
<?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 "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();
?>
Good luck.
