Auto Update The Year In Footer Copyright Message
I used to have to update these manually for my clients so did a bit of digging and found a few different tutorials that helped me slap this together. Now the year in the copyright message always displays the current year.
<?php
$time = time () ;
//This line gets the current time off the server
$year= date("Y",$time);
//This line formats it to display just the year
echo "Copyright ©" . $year . " YOUR-SITE-NAME | All Rights Reserved";
//this line prints out the copyright date range
?>
This works just as well with less code:
you could just use
Copyright © YOUR-SITE-NAME | All Rights Reserved
Or you could even just do:
echo “Copyright © ” . date(‘Y’) . ” YOUR-SITE-NAME | All Rights Reserved”;
That’s how I like to roll!
