Create a constructor for the Trout class with three parameters-

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm lost on this one.....

Thanks:-)

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;
    }

    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 {
  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record) {
  parent::__construct($name, $flavor, $record);
  }    
  }
}

?>

Hey Juliette! The problem with your code is that you did not declare your constructor method as public. You also had an extra curly brace. Here is the correct code for this stage of the Code Challenge.

class Trout extends Fish {
   public function __construct($name, $flavor, $record) {
   parent::__construct($name, $flavor, $record);
   }
}
