Challenge Task 2 of 5: Define a constructor on the Fish class with 3 parameters, in order, named $name, $flavor, and $re

I have checked the whole forum, php.net and google in general and believe my code is correct but I can't get its to work:

<?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;
}

?>
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;
}

?>

Hi!

You forgot the closing curly brace ("}") that indicates the end of the function, your code should look like this:

<?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;
    }
}

?>

I hope I've helpful to you!

Looks like you're missing a closing bracket on your function. Try this:

<?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;
   }

}
