30,920 PointsChallenge 4 of 7 - PHP Question about Concatination and Variables
PalprimeChecker objects have a property called number. This task has two parts. First, assign that property a value of 17. Second, remove the two hash signs (##) in the first echo statement and instead concatenate the value of this number property. (Be sure to preserve the space after the two hash signs by concatenating a space after the number.)
I can't quite figure out how to get past this. This is the code I have:
<?php
include 'class.palprimechecker.php';
$checker = new PalprimeChecker();
$checker->value=17;
echo "The number " . $checker->value . " ";
echo "(is|is not)";
echo " a palprime.";
?>

You've named your property value instead of number. In the real world your code would work. Try on your computer.

<?php
include 'class.palprimechecker.php';
$checker = new PalprimeChecker();
$checker->value=17;
echo "The number ".$checker->value." "; echo "(is|is not)"; echo " a palprime.";
?>
And also, are you sure 'value' is the correct property name?
