Something wrong with my php code

I am trying to answer this question:

"Create a method on Fish named getInfo that takes no parameters and returns a string that includes the common_name, flavor, and record_weight for the fish. When called on $bass, getInfo might return "A Largemouth Bass is an Excellent flavored fish. The world record weight is 22 pounds 5 ounces."

This is my answer and it's wrong. I'm not sure why.

<?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() {
    return "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");
echo $bass->getInfo();

?>

Never mind. I figured out what I did wrong. I put the getInfo() function inside of my __construct() function.
