  public $common_name;
  public $flavor;
  public $record_weight;

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

You forgot your $ on this :)

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

Just a side note, his error is: "Bummer: try again". From my experience, PHP errors on challenges are SUPER unhelpful.
