Cannot pass the challenge Task3.

While in my opinion, i am doing this right, why isn't it working?

fish.php 
<?php

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

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

}


?>

Hi Ammar, It seems you're not declaring your variables in the correct way. You are using var instead of public. Also, when assigning values in the construct you should use the $this-> constructor. It should look something like this:

<?php

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

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

?>

Hope this helps you. Sorry about my english. Pete
