Unexpected 'public' in Magic Methods, Object Oriented Php

Here's my code:

  public function __toString()
  {
    return $this->getTitle();
  }

echo $recipe1;

Any thoughts? It worked fine before I added this method. Now it displays an error even when I return to the previous echo:

echo Render::displayRecip$recipe1;

and remove the magic method __toString.

Your function for setTitle is missing a bracket.

Your function:

 public function setTitle($title)
  {
    if (empty($title)) {
      $this->title = null;
    } else {
      $this->title = ucwords($title);
  }

What it should be (excluding indentation):

public function setTitle($title)
{
    if (empty($title)) {
        $this->title = null;
    } else {
        $this->title = ucwords($title);
    }
}

Hey Keegan Kemp 👋

It's hard to tell why this is happening with only seeing these snippets of code. The __toString looks fine to me, but is most likely either misplaced in your Recipe class or there might be a } missing. Make sure that this snippet is placed directly in your Recipe class and not nested elsewhere.

If that doesn't fix your issue please share a snapshot of your workspace so we can have a look at your complete code and I'd be more than happy to have another look 😃

<?php
include "classes/recipes.php";
include "classes/render.php";

$recipe1 = new Recipe("my first recipe");
$recipe1->setSource = "Grandma Holligan";
$recipe1->addIngredient("egg", 1);
$recipe1->addIngredient("flour", 2, "cup");

$recipe2 = new Recipe("my second recipe");
$recipe2->setSource = "Betty Crocker";

$recipe1->addInstruction("This is my first instruction");
$recipe1->addInstruction("This is my second instruction");

$recipe1->addTag("breakfast");
$recipe1->addTag("Main Course");


$recipe1->setYield("6 servings");

echo $recipe1;

And my cookbook.php file.
