<p style="text-align:center;">

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('shopping_cart.php')?>"><?php echo $cart->count_contents()?> <?php echo BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY ?></a></p>

</td>

<td align="left" valign="middle">

BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY is defined in /includes/languages/english.php and the definition of it is:

 

0 items

 

So in your code:

 

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('shopping_cart.php')?>"><?php echo $cart->count_contents()?> <?php echo BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY ?></a>

 

Your printing first the number of items in the cart with <?php echo $cart->count_contents()?> ... then your also printing BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY

 

<?php echo BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY ?>

 

which as we saw would always print 0 items as this is what it is defined as.

 

So all we need to do is remove that <?php echo BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY ?> bit of code

 

 

So you have

<p style="text-align:center;">
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('shopping_cart.php')?>"><?php echo $cart->count_contents()?> item(s) in cart</a></p>
</td>
<td align="left" valign="middle">

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('shopping_cart.php')?>"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'cart.gif', BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART); ?></a>
