9,260 PointsThe methods need to be inside of the curly bracket after the property declarations:
As such:
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;
}
}
//instantiated object outside of the end closing curly bracket
$bass = new Fish('Largemouth Bass', 'Excellent', '22 pounds 5 ounces');
echo $bass->getInfo();
