Try this: 
 
 $ICON_COUNT="0";
 
 foreach (array('SHOW_WAI_ICON', 'SHOW_BOBBY508_ICON', 'SHOW_W3_ICON', 
'SHOW_CSS_ICON') as $icon):
    if ($$icon != "no"):
       $ICON_COUNT++ ;
    endif;
 endforeach;

or, slightly less efficient but slightly nearer to your bash example:

 foreach (explode(' ', 'SHOW_WAI_ICON SHOW_BOBBY508_ICON SHOW_W3_ICON SHOW_CSS_ICON') 
as $icon):
    if ($$icon != "no"):
       $ICON_COUNT++ ;
    endif;
 endforeach;

Cheers!

Mike
