Within the Client class, extend the constructor method from the parent to allow the company to be included with initialization. It is giving me the error "I do not see a third parameter for company"
<?php
//do not modify this file
class User {
protected $name;
protected $title;
public function __construct($name = null, $title = null) {
$this->name = $name;
$this->title = $title;
}
public function __toString() {
return $this->getSalutation();
}
public function getSalutation() {
return $this->title . " " . $this->name;
}
public function getName() {
return $this->name;
}
public function setName($name) {
$this->name = $name;
}
public function getTitle() {
return $this->title;
}
public function setTitle($title) {
$this->title = $title;
}
}
<?php
//do not modify this file
class Developer extends User
{
protected $skills;
public function getSkills() {
return $this->skills;
}
public function setSkills($array) {
$this->skills = $array;
}
public function displayUserSkills() {
return $this->getName() . ' has the following skills: ' . implode(", ", $this->skills);
}
}
<?php
//add code for Client class
class Client extends User {
protected $company;
public function getCompany() {
return $this->company;
}
public function setCompany($array) {
$this->company = $array;
}
public function construct ($name = null, $title = null, $company = null) {
parent::construct($name,$title); $this->setCompany($company);
}
}

42,901 PointsWhen you call the constructor you need to do it like this
parent::__construct($name,$title);
Once you add the underscores everything runs perfectly. Other examples of this behavior
__destruct(), __call(), __callStatic(), __get(), __set(), __isset(), __unset(), __sleep(), __wakeup(), __toString(), __invoke(), __set_state(), __clone() __debugInfo()
Well knonw as Magic Methods.

24,684 Points'''public function construct ($name = null , $title = null , $company = null ){ parent::construct($name,$title); $this->setCompany($company); }''' The underscores needed to be included with the first call to construct as well, I figured it out thank you very much!
