I have a Joomla 1.5 site. I have articles in my site with different "status". What I'm trying to do is "count" and show how many articles have for example "status = 1"(expired) or "status = 3"(blocked) or "status = 2"(active) etc..

Here is the statuses in PhpMyAdmin - <http://awesomescreenshot.com/07a8ijz75>

Here is what I wrote, but it ALWAYS gives me same result - **1**

```
<?php echo count($this->row->status==1) ?>

```

Did I miss something?
Thanks
