Dynamic Year Function

Using this function you can create a dynamic year in the footer of your site. Simply add the function to your Page_Controller class and use $Year in your footer template.

This will output "2009" for this year and then "2009-2010" next year etc.

  • Great idea. Just one nitpick from the typographer in me, you've used a hyphen to indicate a range, but these look too short, so I've amended it to use an en-dash, which can be called in php with \xe2\x80\x93

  • I've done something similar, but I make it a little more flexible by allowing the template variable take a year as its only parameter.

    $Year(2009)

    Then it calculates the year range based on what is passed or just uses the current year if no year is provided.

  • It's good example for a custom PHP function.

    You can also use:
    $Now.Year
