Setting public variable not passing, Object-Oriented PHP Basics

Hey guys, I've been trying to solve this code challenge and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I think I mimicked the steps in the previous videos correctly, but somehow this doesn't pass.

Can anyone point out my mistake?

thanks

fish.php 
<?php

class Fish {
  public $common_name;
  public $flavor;
  public $record_weight;

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

?>

Hey,

You should put $this->common_name = $name instead of $this->name = $common_name , same way for record !

We use $this to call the current object not the variable .

A+
