How do I use PHP to get the current year?

Question

I want to put a copyright notice in the footer of a web site, but I think it\'s incredibly tacky for the year to be outdated.

How would I make the year update automat

Answer 1

use a PHP function which is just called date().

It takes the current date and then you provide a format to it

and the format is just going to be Y. Capital Y is going to be a four digit year.
