Bodge solution, try this:-

 

$icon = "<img src=\"images/forums/icons/NewPost.png\" width=\"75%\" alt=\"".$check->recordcount()." New Post(s)\">";

You'll have to concatenate the part the includes the method.

 

$icon = "<img src=\"images/forums/icons/NewPost.png\" width=\"75%\" alt=\"" . $check->recordcount() . " New Post(s)\">";

 

edit, kickstart got there.

Actually, you can put class methods and class variables in a double quoted string (at least in php5.) The original posted code works for me.

 

It is likely that error is cause by the lines immediately before the line with the error. Post at least 5 lines before that point.
