Created $manufacturer doesn't output anything on echo $shirt::$manufacturer

Hi,

I'm stuck now. I created the public static $manufacturer and passed a value to it. Then I created the public function getMaker() which returns self::$manufacturer.

If I try to echo that out with the examples from the video, it just gives me a blank page. Did I do anything wrong?

My guess is that you've got a missing } or > or ; or something.

If you don't see it, try asking a second pair of eyes to match everything up.

You can also edit your post, and paste the code in. To keep it looking like code, indent each line with 4 spaces.

Can you post your code in the forum? This will allows us to have a good look at what is going on. From your description Brenda is right, most likely a syntax error.

Got it to work. Rewrote the class by with the things I've learned in the course and now it outputs the $manufacturer as wanted. No blank page.
