PHP Object-Oriented PHP Basics (Retired) Properties and Methods Mid-Course Challenge

Why isn't this the right answer?

The question is to 'define a constructor on the Fish class with 3 parameters, in order, of $name, $flavor, and $record'. Here is my code, but it is wrong. Why?

fish.php 
<?php

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

    function __construct($name, $flavor, $record) {     
  };
};

?>

There is no semicolon after the closing bracket for the class and I don't think there is one closing the constructor either.

The closing semicolon for the class is carried over from the previous question, but you're right about the one after the constructor. I removed it and now it is accepted as the answer. I knew it was something small. Just for grins, I did remove them both and that is accepted as the answer also.

Thanks!
