I don't get it. What am I doing wrong. It asked me to create an object named "bluegill" as an instance of the class "Fish". Help. '''php <?php class Fish { $bluegill = new Fish; } ?> '''

2,843 PointsThanks, that worked! How do you know it's supposed to be outside the class? It said 'create an object named "bluegill" as an instance of the class "Fish".' What part of that is telling of where it goes?

13,798 PointsI guess I said "Read the questions carefully" because it did not say to "create an object inside a class" as your tile suggests.
