That big fat zero was getting on my nerves. Now I can replace the occasional zero with "Tons of". :) I've got this working great. I used a plugin that lets me place php code in a text widget, so I can easily add the call on the sidebar via a widget. Love it. Many thanks! So glad I found this.

The code is the same of the post. I inserted my feed name and the url of the API with my id is correct but when I call the function, it's print only “many others” without number or “N/A”.

Hi, I managed to put this into my wordpress theme which i am testing on my virtual local server and i have php5 turned on but where i want the count to display instead it displays many other.

So i assumed that the script where u put the url of your domain could be the reason to why its not working so i changed it to your details to see if any difference was made and still showed up as many other.

I have my api active in feedburner so i am stumped as to why its not working…this might be a hard one but any ideas or has anything changed since then?

I believe the Feedburner API has returned something else than XML = API didn't answer or was unavailable. I'll add a little error handling to the code (which I thought I did already).
