   Hi.
   i have a lots of categories in my blog, and some of them have a lots of posts, while others have only a few.

   What i want to do is display a tower of google adwords on the sidebar of the category page, if there are more than X posts.

   so, i was thinking of making a php IF condition to check the number of posts whoing on the current page.

   I would appreciate any help doing this.

   Thanks.

   Well if you are using The_Loop to display posts then assuming your posts are in an array called $posts, you could use the the count statement:
   <?php
   echo 'count of posts is ' . count($posts);
   ?>

   Thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for.

   This is how i used it, if anyone needs this:
   
<?php
$howmany = count($posts);
if ($howmany >= 5) { ?>
Some HTML code here...
<?php };?>
