Please help! (PHP classes)

It says "Bummer! Be sure you include the fish's common name in the return value from getInfo. Use $this to reference the current object.". Can someone help me out???

fish.php 
<?php 

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

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

  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("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces")

?>

Try concatenating your string with the dot operator, "." instead of a plus.
