Wrong evaluation?

Hey... II am in the final step of code challange with "largemouth bass". I have put down the code which on my localhost is doing correct output, but on the challenge it is evaluated as Bummer :(( any advice?

<?php

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

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

  public function getInfo() {
    echo ('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");
$bass->getInfo();
?>

Thanks for any advice. Martin

Martin, In your getInfo() method you are "echo"ing out the results. The challenge wants the method to return the string, not echo it out.
