Hi Xing Li

You may create a new object using the new statement, and pass along the required arguments to the constructor.

<?php

class Fish {
  public $common_name = 'name';
  public $flavor = 'flavor';
  public $record_weight = 'weight';

  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
    $this->common_name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record_weight = $record;
  }
}

// create a Fish object named $bass
$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");

?>

Here you go: Very simple

<?php

class Fish { public $common_name ="Largemouth Bass"; public $flavor = "Excellent"; public $record_weight = "22 pounds 5 ounces"; } // Creating an object

$bass = new Fish(); $bass->common_name; $bass->flavor; $bass->record_weight;

?>
