[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] calling amount of images within post

Hi,

I’m trying to call the amount of images from within a post, and I am using nextgen gallery within that post.

This is what I have so far, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

<?php global $wpdb;

$images = intval( $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->nggpictures WHERE post_id = $post->ID”) );
?>

I have code working which can tell me total images on the site, how many galleries and how many albums, but I cannot get this working.

Thanks in advance.

cheers

Sam
