Shouldn’t the getInfo() have arguments? Why not? Do you see anything wrong with this code?
<?php
class Product
{
public $name = 'default_name';
public $price = 0;
public $desc = 'default_ description';
function __construct($name, $price, $desc){
$this->name = $name;
$this->name = $price;
$this->name = $desc;
}
public function getInfo(){
return "Product Name: ". $this->name. " Price: ". $this->price. " Description: ". $this->desc;
}
$shirt = new Product("Space Juice T-Shirt", 20, "Awesomre Grey T-Shirt");
$soda = new Product("Space Juice Soda", 2, "Grape Flavored Mutilator");
echo $shirt->getInfo();

There's no need to pass arguments to getInfo(). The purpose of the method is to describe the instance its being called on. This can be accomplished without passing any arguments to it, since it can access the properties name, price and description using the keyword $this.
Also, your constructor method isn't quite right. Right now you're setting the property name three times, and not setting the price or desc properties at all. Instead, you want to set each property using the arguments that are passed in when creating the Product instance, like this:
<?php
function __construct($name, $price, $desc){
$this->name = $name;
$this->price = $price;
$this->desc = $desc;
}
Let me know if this helps!
