Cant seem to figure this one out

So I can't quite seem to figure this one out, code below:

<?php include("class.palprimechecker.php"); $checker = new PalprimeChecker; $checker->number = 17;

echo "The number " . $checker->number; if ($checker->isPalprime() == true) {echo " is"} else {echo " is not"}; echo " a palprime.";

?>

I know $checker->isPalprime() should return a boolean anyway, but I've tried it both ways now (and a few more) with and without the == true.

Your semi colon for the if statement is in the wrong place. It should look like this

If($checker->isPalprime()) {
echo 'is';
} else {
echo 'is not';
}

Notice there is a semi colon after each echo statement. You have to finish each echo statement with that semi colon before continuing. It should also be noted that I didn't use == true, but that works too. You just need to fix the semi colon placement.

Thank you so much, don't know how I missed that so many times. Really appreciate the help though.
