Local php development.. no document found?

Hi guys,

I have a silly question -.- I'm following the PHP beginner track.. i don't like the workspace, so i work in sublime!

I'm using MAMP as my localhost but.. when i open it.. there is no document at all? There is only one file in the folder (index.php)..

And this code is in it:

<?php class = Product{

public $name = 'default_name';
public $price = '0';
public $desc = 'default description';   

function __construct($name, $price, $desc){
    $this->name = $name;
    $this->price = $price;
    $this->desc = $desc;
}

public function getInfo(){
    return "Default name: ". this->name;
}

}

$shirt = new Product("Space juice t-shirt", "20", "lololol"); echo $shirt->getInfo();

?>

What am i doing wrong? Sorry if my english is incorrect

I see the problem. You need a $ in front of this.

Is your project stored in the proper MAMP folder and is the server turned on?

Ah, i have tested it with a simple: echo "hello, world"; and it works.. Is there a problem in my code?

<?php

class Product
{
    public $name = 'default_name';
    public $price = 0;
    public $desc = 'default description';   

    function __construct($name, $price, $desc){
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->price = $price;
        $this->desc = $desc;
    }

    public function getInfo(){
        return "Product name: ". this->name;
    }
}

$shirt = new Product("Space Juice T-shirt", 20, "Awesome Grey T-shirt");
$soda = new Product("Space Juice Soda", 2, "graph flavored thirst modulator");

echo $shirt->getInfo();

?>
