Display year question

    I can’t be the first person to ask this question, but I tried searching Codex and these forums, but did not find an answer…

    In my footer I want to put my copyright statement but instead of typing the year “2009” I want to have it dynamically pull in the current year and display it. I do this all the time on my non-WP sites (Windows/ASP code) and I am sure there’s an equivalent, I just can’t seem to find it.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    My apologies, a Google search turned up my answer, and yes it’s me being rookie to PHP. Should anyone else ever need the answer, you simply add ‘<?php echo date(“Y”) ?>’ to the html in place of your year.

    In your theme’s footer.php

    <?php
echo 'the current year is '. date('Y');
?>
