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I want to put a copyright notice in the footer of a web site, but I think it\'s incredibly tacky for the year to be outdated.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

My way to show the copyright, That keeps on updating automatically

Copyright ©
     
    

It will output the results as

copyright @ 2017   //if $copyYear is 2017 
copyright @ 2017-201x    //if $copyYear is not equal to Current Year.
