You mean $this->parent_category and $this->name

$this->$name would use the value of $name to decide which property of $this to look up.

try

class Product
{
    var $parent_category;
    var $name;

function Product($new_name, $new_parent)
{
    $this->parent_category = $new_parent;
    $this->name = $new_name;
}
}

$temp_product = new Product("asd", "asd");
