Auto Update Copyright Tag

    • January 1, 2010

    It seems like outdated copyright tags in the footer of Websites are becoming an increasing issue online. Here are a couple of basic ways to make the tag dynamic to always display the correct information and updated year.

    1. JavaScript (Current Year)

    2. JavaScript (Original Year – Current Year)

    2009-

    3. PHP (Current Year)

    < ?php echo "© ".date("Y"); ?>

    4. PHP (Original Year – Current Year)

    2009-< ?php echo "© ".date("Y"); ?>

    With a little script implementation, everyone can keep their copyright tags up to date and avoid any unnecessary embarrassment.
