Is there a more efficient way to do this without counting twice?

i.e returning a warning image string if the count is 0 otherwise return the count.

IF(
  ((SELECT COUNT(pc.category_id) from product_categories pc WHERE pc.product_id = cp.ItemID) > 0),
  (SELECT COUNT(pc.category_id) from product_categories pc WHERE pc.product_id = cp.ItemID),
  "<img src=\"_imgs/warning.png\" alt=\"warning\"/>"
) AS category_count

    Use variable for it. (But I think its result may be cached by query cache.)

    IF( @val:=(query here), @val, "other value" ) AS category_count
