auto update COPYRIGHT

[Roger]

Anyone who knows where I can find a script that let me autoupdate the copyright on my webpages? I have about 50 pages on my website, and it is a lot of work to update the copyright with a new year on every page.

&copy;1996-<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var time=new Date();
var year=time.getFullYear();
document.write(year);</script>, BooYaa, Inc.

Or, JavaScript free option if you have PHP or SSI is this.

PHP<? include("copyrightfooter.htm"); ?>SSI<!--#include file="copyrightfooter.htm"-->

And in copyrightfooter.htm, add your copyright info. All pages will then read from this file and display the copyright date. IF you use PHP, you must rename to .php. If you use SSI, you must rename to .shtml or .shtm.

<!--#config timefmt="&amp;copy; 1996 - %Y."--><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL"-->

2 - If you must use JavaScript, you can clean that up a bit:

<script type="text/javasript">
<!--
document.write('<h6>Copyright 1996 - ', new Date().getFullYear(), ', BooYaa, Inc.</h6>')
// -->
</script>
