PHP object wont echo a property

I am trying to learn PHP OOP on codeacademy and I think I am going insane. I have compared my code with the example code in every single way and it just wont work! Please help me understand what is going wrong here, when i try to echo the age property from the object $student, made from the class Person

  <?php
    class Person {
        public $isAlive = true;
        public $firstname;
        public $lastname;
        public $age;
        public function __contruct($firstname, $lastname, $age) 
        {
           $this->firstname = $firstname;
           $this->lastname = $lastname;
           $this->age = $age;
       }
   }
   $teacher = new Person("boring", "12345", 12345);
   $student = new Person('hans', 'hansen', 24);
   $me = new Person('boring', '12345', 12345);
   echo $student->age;
  ?>

Spelling mistake exist

class Person 
{
    public $isAlive = true;
    public $firstname;
    public $lastname;
    public $age;

    //spelling mistake exist
    public function __construct($firstname, $lastname, $age)
    {
        echo $firstname;

        $this->firstname = $firstname;
        $this->lastname = $lastname;
        $this->age = $age;

        echo 'i work';
    }

}
$teacher = new Person("boring", "12345", 12345);
$student = new Person('hans', 'hansen', 24);

//print_r($student);

if(is_object($student))
{
    echo $student->age;
}

$me = new Person('boring', '12345', 12345);

What is this ? 

public function __costruct($firstname, $lastname, $age)

Check spelling costruct - it must be construct

It is a grammar error... you wrote __contruct

try just replacing this line: public function __construct($firstname, $lastname, $age)

good luck learning PHP.

You misspelled 'construct', so nothing is being set.
