Overview

Adds copyright year or interval o’ years where desired. By default, it just shows the current year, as specified by the server ( which is hopefully keeping accurate track o’ time ). Optionally, you can include a start year. If the start year is different from the current year, then it will show an interval ‘tween the start year & current year.

For instance, if you set the start year to 2015, in 2018 you will get the following:

2015 - 2018

You can also set a custom divider if you want the interval sign to look different. For instance, if you don’t want the hyphen to have spaces round it, you could set the divider to “-“, & you will get the following:

2015-2018

Example

<?php
