<p>I want to put a copyright notice in the footer of a web site, but I think it's incredibly tacky for the year to be outdated.</p>
<p>How would I make the year update automatically with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#History" rel="noreferrer">PHP 4</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#History" rel="noreferrer">PHP 5</a>?</p>

```
```
<?php echo date("Y"); ?>
```
```
