Code Challenge: Objects 5/7

Unable to proceed with section 5/7 of Code Challenge: Objects.

Any ideas as to why? Thanks!

    <?php

    require_once("class.palprimechecker.php");
    $checker = new PalprimeChecker;
    $checker->number = 17;
    echo "The number . $checker->number . " ";
    if($checker->isPalprime()) {
        echo " is ";
    } else {
        echo " is not ";
    }
    echo " a palprime.";
    ?>

Your problem is not the conditional. But in fact your quotes. You need to put a space and a double quote right after: "The number.

Chase is correct. You need to end the string "The number " with a double quotation mark before you concatenate the property to it, like this:

"The number " . $checker->number . " ";

Randy Hoyt, just a quick question. Why are you a moderator now? Do you no longer work for Treehouse or something?

That's correct. I'm no longer an employee at Treehouse, but I'm still helping out here in the forums when I can!
