Here's the JavaScript. Copy and paste it wherever you want the current year to appear:

  1. <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
  2.   var today = new Date()
  3.   var year = today.getFullYear()
  4.   document.write(year)
  5. </script>

And here's the php script:

  1. <?php echo date("Y"); ?>

php with start year:

  1. &amp;copy; 2008-<?php echo date("Y") ?>

Start date with error protection:

  1. <?php 
  2. function auto_copyright($year = 'auto'){ 
  3.  
  4.   if(intval($year) == 'auto'){ 
  5.   $year = date('Y'); 
  6.   } 
  7.  
  8.   if(intval($year) == date('Y')){ 
  9.   echo intval($year); 
  10.   } 
  11.  
  12.   if(intval($year) < date('Y')){ 
  13.   echo intval($year) . ' - ' . date('Y'); 
  14.   } 
  15.  
  16.   if(intval($year) > date('Y')){ 
  17.   echo date('Y'); 
  18.   } 
  19.  
  20. } ?>

here's how to use it

  1. <?php auto_copyright(); // 2011?>
  2.       or
  3. <?php auto_copyright('2010');  // 2010 - 2011 ?>
