On the PHP OO stage 3 challenge task 6, not sure why the code I'm using doesn't pass, it works on my PHP web server.

Here is the code i'm using:

   function getInfo() {
    return $this->species . " " . $this->common_name . "tastes" . $this->flavor . ". " . 
      "The record" . $this->species . $this->name . "weighed" . $this->record_weight . ".";
        }

I would try something along the lines of the following for Task 6:

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;
    }

Happy coding,

Ken
