Courses Plus Student 40,672 PointsHello,
All that I see is wrong is the space needed between the word 'function' and the function name and the name of the class constructor (it's __construct not __constructor). Corey, he does not need to put the word 'public' before the function as if you do not provide the visibility of the function (public, private, protected) it automatically sets the visibility to public. Although, it is good practice, it isn't needed.
Cheers!

18,468 Pointsalso is that code directly from the quiz?
If so, you need to add public before function and a space after 'function' before construct(). Also need to write 'construct'.
Need to see exactly what you are trying to submit to get a better idea.

18,468 PointsI agree about declaring it public. It is a habit I have gotten into. Shawn's post also explained the edits better than mine. The post erased my underscores and made it bold. I need to watch out for that.
