6,997 PointsAdd a fourth parameter, $species, to the Trout constructor.
I'm really stuck. The error says that the constructor is not referencing the Trout class
<?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;
}
public function getInfo() {
$output = "The {$this->common_name} is an awesome fish. ";
$output .= "It is very {$this->flavor} when eaten. ";
$output .= "Currently the world record {$this->common_name} weighed {$this->record_weight}.";
return $output;
}
}
class Trout extends Fish {
public $species;
public function __construct($name, $flavor, $record, $species) {
parent::__construct($name, $flavor, $record);
$this->$species = $flavor;
}
}
?>

In your Trout constructor the line to set species should be
$this->species = $species;
