PHP Object-Oriented PHP Basics Building the Recipe Static

Challenge 4/4

Hey all,

Any help with this challenge please?

Question is:

detailsRoom should accept a single object parameter named $room. The $room object will have the follow methods:

getName: will return a string

getDimensions: will return and array of size integers

Add a return value to the detailsRoom method that displays "name Dimensions: length x width", where name is returned from the room getName method and length x width is returned from the render displayDimensions method.

You will need to call the static method displayDimensions from within the Render class and pass the dimensions from the $room object using the getDimensions method

Final Output Example: Kitchen Dimensions: 12 x 14

I am getting the error: Make sure you are calling the getName method on your $room object.

Thanks

index.php
<?php

class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size)
    {
         return $size[0] . ' x ' . $size[1];
    }

    public static function detailsRoom($room)
    {
        return $room->getName . " Dimensions: " . self::displayDimensions($room->getDimensions());
    }
}

?>

You need parentheses () after your getName method

This worked for me:

<?php

class Render {
 public static function displayDimensions($size) 
{
//  return $size->['length'] . " x " . $size->['width'];
   return $size[0] . " x " . $size[1];
 }   

  public static function detailsRoom($room)
  {
    return $room->getName() . " Dimensions: " . self::displayDimensions($room->getDimensions());
  }
}
?>

HI, thanks I literally figured that out right after I posted the question.
