Copyright info

What is the best way to update copyright info on all your sites year by year?

Just use a script and change it from one place. You will need to initially add the code to each page.

askapache has a find and replace script.
Search And Replace shell script helpful for Upgrades

OR

Use the Simple Search and Replace from RJL Software, Inc. - Unique Software Solutions for Today's Changing Market
You can download the folder via ftp and then use the program to search for 2008 and replace with 2009 and then upload.

Both are free of charge.

I use php and just enter it with a variable that automatically checks the timestamp.

Damn....never thought about that

<?php
$time = time () ;
//This line ask the server for the time (again)

$year= date("Y",$time) . "<br>";
//Strip it all down to the year...Take it off babe

echo "Copyright " . $year;
//Spit it all out and smile
?>

Put all that into a file named copyright.php and call it in a include mention in the page.

<?php include_once ("copyright.php"); ?>

HINT: If it is a html add this to the .htaccess

# Parse html as php (Trick Apache)
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .htm
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html

OR

Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- copyright=new Date();update=copyright.getYear();document.write("Copyright &copy; "+ update + "    (your company name)    All rights Reserved."); //-->
</script>

Happy Happy!
