Copyright Year
==============

[](#copyright-year)

Simple class for handling auto-updating copyright year in website footers.

Description
-----------

[](#description)

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`

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Copyright year can be directly added to PHP files by creating an instance o' the \\WaughJ\\CopyrightYear\\CopyrightYear class & using it like a string or calling the "getText()". Optional arguments to its constructor are 1st the starting year o' your website & 2nd the divider you want 'tween the start year & current year if they are different. The defaults for these, respectively, are the current year & a hyphen with spaces round it.

If using WordPress, you can also add a copyright year to a WordPress document using a shortcode. Add \[copyright-year\] to add the current year & \[copyright-year start="%year%" divider="%divider%"\] with %year% replaced by the starting year & %divider% replaced by the divider that appears 'tween the start & current year if they are different.
