Occasionally you want to only display something based on the number of categories that is assigned to a particular entry. This is a small plugin that grabs that number and allows the use of it in conditional statements.

Sample Usage: 

Total Assigned Categories: {exp:entry_category_count entry_id="{entry_id}"} 
{if {exp:entry_category_count entry_id="{entry_id}"} > 1}
  There are multiple categories assigned to this entry
{/if} 
{if {exp:entry_category_count entry_id="{entry_id}"} == 0}
  There are no categories assigned to this entry
{/if}

You can hardcode in an entry ID if you like 

{if {exp:entry_category_count entry_id="124"} > 1}
  Your very awesome code here
{/if}
