I'm using PHP everywhere plugin to insert PHP snippets in my page. Specifically, I'm trying to get posts count in a category. Here's my code:

<?php  
$count=get_category(607)->count;
echo $count;
?>

But it doesn't display any value, and there is no way of checking what it is returning. The plugin works fine. For example, if I enter echo 1+1 it displays 2. Please help me. Thanks in advance
