There was an answer to a link before by someone called SUHUR I think, I was going to reward him with the answer but it seems he deleted his own post?

He linked to this: http://nothingtopost.wordpress.com/tag/how-to-get-total-cart-item-in-magento/

I modified my code and this works now on .phtml files.

<?php
      $count = $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getSummaryCount();  //get total items in cart
      $total = $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal(); //get total price
      if($count==0)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(0 ITEMS)</a>',$count);
      }
      if($count==1)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(1 ITEM)</a>',$count);
      }
      if($count>1)
      {
        echo $this->__('<a href="/checkout/cart" class="cartgo">(%s ITMES)</a>',$count);
      }
      echo $this->__('', $this->helper('core')->formatPrice($total, false));
    ?>
