$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?id=7qkrmib4r9rscbplq5qgadiiq4');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,2);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
$subscribers = get_match('/circulation="(.*)"/isU',$content);
curl_close($ch);

The $subscribers variable will then be your subscriber count, for echoing out (or whatever). You’ll need to replace the ID at the end of the second line with your feed’s ID (find it). You’ll also need to have the Awareness feature of FeedBurner enabled.
