I don't understand how this is wrong. $bass = new Fish("Largemouth bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");

I am supposed to create a fish object named $bass withthe above features. and it tells me that task 1 will not pass

fish.php 
<?php 

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

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


  }
$bass = new Fish("Largemouth bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");


}
?>

You are doing great! However, the $bass stuff needs to go outside the Fish class. Try this:

<?php 

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

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

}

$bass = new Fish("Largemouth bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");

?>

Hope that helps! :dizzy:

I saw you mentioned that it gave you an error "Did you set the common name for the bass to "Largemouth Bass"?" The answer to that is that the Treehouse code challenges are very picky, so you must do "Largemouth Bass" instead of "Largemouth bass".

Complete code:

<?php 

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

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

}

$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");

?>

Yes I tried that but it gave me this error: Did you set the common name for the bass to "Largemouth Bass"? Pass this as the first parameter of the Fish object.

I will show you the answer to that in my other answer. (I will update it.)
