Dynamic Copyright Date

&copy; 2009

But let’s be honest, nothing looks worse than a copyright statement when the year is out of date! It gives the impression that you don’t care.

You can easily prevent this by using the php date() function:

&copy; <?php echo date('Y'); ?>

Really simple and one less thing to think about. Leave and forget

&copy; 
<?php ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/London');
$startYear = '2009'; 
$thisYear = date('Y'); 
if($startYear == $thisYear) { 
    echo $startYear; }
else { 
    echo $startYear.' &ndash '.$thisYear; } ?> 
&nbsp;YOUR NAME

Is the one I use. Slightly more advanced, but lets you have the whole 2008 – 2009 thing, accurate to time-zone

The best way at the moment to post code in a comment is to use the pre tag with a lang attribute of either php, css, javascript or html4strict like this:
```
<body>
```

 Fair enough lol. Don't know why it's being spazzy!
```
Cheers for the amendment.
