Assign $name parameter to the common_name property using $this to refer to the current object.

Question

In the code challenge for Object-oriented PHP basics, need help with step 3 of 5.

Code challenge instructs me: In the new constructor method, assign each of the properties on the Fish class with its corresponding parameter variable.

My code is:

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;
  }
}```

Error I am receiving is:
Be sure that the $name parameter is assigned to the common_name property using $this to refer to the current object.

Can not figure out where my error is.

```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;
  }
}

?>

try change in the __construct this

$this->name = $common_name;
$this->record = $record_weight;

to

$this->common_name = $name;
$this->record_weight= $record;

I have the same issue -- keep being sent back to step 1. The code suggested above does not check as correct for me.
