15,367 PointsI don't think you type in a static 17 even though it passes. I think the idea is you're supposed to concatenate that with the variable that holds the value so you don't repeat yourself (DRY).
this passes:
<?php
include('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.";
?>

9,445 PointsI need help on the 5 of 7 task the question goes:
PalprimeChecker objects have a method called isPalprime(). This method does not receive any arguments. It returns true if the number property contains a palprime, and it returns false if the number property does not contain a palprime. (Tip: 17 is not a palprime.) Turn the second echo statement into a conditional that displays “is” or “is not” appropriately. The conditional should call the isPalprime method of the $checker object. If the isPalprime method returns true, then echo “is”; otherwise, echo “is not”.
this is my answer
<?php include("class.palprimechecker.php");
$checker = new PalprimeChecker;
$checker -> number = 17;
if($checker -> isPalprime()){
echo "is ";
} else {
echo "is not ";
}
echo "The number 17 ";
echo "a palprime.";
?>
this is wrong but it tells me:
It seems like you are calling the right method and you have the removed various placeholder characters (##|()), but something in the output is not quite right. Please double-check the preview.
I'm sort of confused on what I'm doing wrong.

12,283 PointsYou almost got it! It is just that your code is out of order. Instead try:
<?php
require_once ("class.palprimechecker.php");
$checker = new PalprimeChecker();
$checker-> number = 17;
echo "The number " . 17;
if ($checker->isPalprime()){echo " is";} else {echo " is not";}
echo " a palprime.";
?>
