Add the following public properties to the Fish class: common_name, flavor, and record_weight.
<?php
class Fish {
$p-> name = ("common_name"."flavor"."record_weight");
}
?>

22,989 PointsYou create a public variable by doing:
public $variable_name;
So in this case, it would be:
class Fish {
public $common_name;
public $flavor;
public $record_weight;
}
When you want the property, like how you did, you do the following outside of the class:
$fish = new Fish();
$fish->common_name = "Fish";

The clues in this challenge are 'public' (the encapsulation access definition) and 'properties' (variables). So we are setting up our variables (properties) like so:
class Fish {
public $property(first variable name)
public $property(second variable name)
public $property(third variable name)
}
Defining these properties as public in our Fish class will enable us to utilize them for any object of fish that we instantiate (create) for different species of fish.
I'm also in always learning mode, so I hope this helps.
Cheers, Kristi
