PHP Question - OOP PHP Basics - Challenge 3 of 5

<?php

class Fish {
    public $common_name = "";
  public $flavor = "";
  public $record_weight = 0;

  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
     this->common_name = $name;
     this->flavor = $flavor;
     this->record_weight = $record;
  }
}

?>

Ok fellow nerds... I appeal to the powers that be and request your assistance. To me this looks pretty cut and dry, cup of cake, whatever you want to call it. Make a constructor for the class that initializes the three parameters to their corresponding variables. This code won't pass the question though... Any ideas?

Here's the Challenge In the new constructor method, assign each of the properties on the Fish class with its corresponding parameter variable.
