Keep Your Copyright Up to Date

Posted under PHP on December 21, 2009.

This is a short older article from a previous version of my blog, but the lesson it teaches is still relevant so I'm reposting it.

Have you seen those web sites that have a something like "Copyright Name 2005"? We as web developers don't want that so all you have to do is put this code in the place of your copyright at the bottom of your page:

© <?php echo date("Y"); ?> Your Name

If you have a site that has been around for a while, like this one then you could do this:

© 2006 - <?php echo date("Y"); ?> Your Name

It's that easy to keep you copyright up to date, so do it!
