A simple PHP utility for generating dynamic copyright year ranges in your projects.

Quick installation
------------------

[](#quick-installation)

```
composer require letraceursnork/copyright-year-range
```

Purpose
-------

[](#purpose)

This package provides an easy way to format copyright years, automatically handling cases where the start year matches the current year. Instead of hardcoding dates like © 2020 - 2025, you can generate them dynamically, ensuring your copyright notices stay up to date. Forget about `if`s like this:

```
if ($year !== '2024') { // The year that copyright starts
    echo "© 2024 - $year"
} else {
    echo "© $year";
}
```

Just use this:

```
echo CopyrightHelper::getCopyrightString(2020); // Output: "2020 - 2025" (if current year is 2025)
echo CopyrightHelper::getCopyrightString(2025); // Output: "2025" (if current year is 2025)
```

Custom formatting
-----------------

[](#custom-formatting)

```
CopyrightHelper::setFormat('%1$s – %2$s'); // Using an en dash
echo CopyrightHelper::getCopyrightString(2020); // "2020 – 2023"

CopyrightHelper::setFormat('%1$s  %2$s');
echo CopyrightHelper::getCopyrightString(2020); // "2020  2023"
```
