Hey

Alright, you have made a few mistakes. First of all: You should name the method "getInfo".

Second, I really don't know what you want to achieve with this line. You need to return the three properties which you have defined in your class. title and source are never setted, so this just leads to an error.

return $this->title ."by" .$this->source;

Here's a Code Snippet. This should work..

<?php

class Fish
{
    public $common_name;
    public $flavor;
    public $record_weight;

    public function getInfo() {
      return "A ". $this->common_name ." is an ". $this->flavor ." flavored Fish. The world record weight is ". $this->record_weight; 
    }
}

$bass = new Fish();
$bass->common_name = "Largemouth Bass";
$bass->flavor = "Excellent";
$bass->record_weight = "22 pounds 5 ounces";

?>
