Auto Update Copyright [PHP]

Have you ever made a site and always had to change the copyright? Well you came to the right place!

Here is a PHP code which will automatically update to the current year :D

<?PHP $date = date('Y'); echo ("Copyrighted 1950 - $date"); ?>

What that script does it, it outputs the current date!

Just a note, you don't need brackets round echo tags in php4+

e.g:

PHP Code:

   <?php 

$date=date('Y');

echo"Copyrighted 1950 - $date";

?>

rmwebs, i don't think it is since php4. echo is and also has been a language construct which do not require parenthesis. To my knowledge is it not version dependent.

Dan, now you're just being picky lol!

technically....

PHP Code:

    echo 'Copyright &copy; 1950 - ' . date('Y');

...would be better as we do not variables names to be expanded. Now that's being picky lol

PHP Code:

    echo'Copyright &copy; 1950 - '.date('Y');

Those extra 3 bytes were killer.

Why not just do?

PHP Code:

    Copyright &copy; 1995 - <?php echo date("Y");?>

I think it was assumed that the lines previous to this one would have been in php hence you would not bother with the advantages of breaking out of php to output and simply echo it as it is only 1 line.

If those bytes really matter :P, this will work for PHP 5+ :

PHP Code:

    Copyright &copy; 1995 - <?=date("Y");?>

Let us think of compatibility jromentan! What if short_open_tag is disabled lol.

Anyway, that will work for all versions of php, not just php5+. Also it can be beaten lol! Remember just how important those bytes ares ;)

PHP Code:

    Copyright &copy; 1995 - <?=date("Y")?>

The closing tag (?>) also adds a semi colon, so you don't have to :D
