Many persons make a mistac while adding copyright to their sites.

A copyright starts at a year and ends at another.

You should have written :

Thanks, Brian! This is EXACTLY what I need–didn’t know about PHP last year and I’m tired of trying to keep up all the sites manually.

Thanks everyone for your comments and glad some of you found it helpful.

Elena, it can be used on any page of a website that is in PHP. It is a basic PHP call.

HrvojeKC, thanks for your additional comments!

echo should be faster than print by some benchmarks but it’s not important for this kind of displaying data.

Sometimes the date(‘Y’) does not display the year then you could use date(‘o’)

Details can be found on the following address http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
