5,885 PointsPHP Creating new a object from class Fish causes Task 1 to fail.
The challenge is to create a new Fish object called "Largemouth Bass". Flavor should be "Excellent" and the record should be "22 pounds 5 ounces".
As far as I know, I've created a fish object just so, but suddenly my Task 1 is failing. Is there an obvious error I'm just overlooking, or what is it?
<?php
class Fish
{
public $common_name;
public $flavor;
public $record_weight;
public function __construct($name, $flavor, $record)
{
$this->common_name = $name;
$this->flavor = $flavor;
$this->record_weight = $record;
}
$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
public function getInfo() {
return "A {$this->common_name} is an {$this->flavor} flavored fish. The world record weight is {$this->record_weight}.";
}
}
?>

<?php
class Fish { public $common_name; public $flavor; public $record_weight;
public function __construct($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"); ?>
