[PHP] dynamic copyright in page footer?
Hello,
I am trying to use php to put a copyright notice in a page footer. I'm
using the date function with the Y value for the year. Here's the
code:
?php
echo date ('Y');
?
This works great for a site done in 2011 but next year I'm going to
want to have 2011 and 2012 in the copyright notice, adding an
additional year the site's up. I'd appreciate some suggestions i'm
very likely overthinking this.
Thanks.

Arrays are evaluations even if they only contain literal values. It could be done, but it would require a fundamental change to the engine and the benefit-cost calculation just doesn't add up. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hello Dholmes1031,
I would write it like this:
switch($foo) {
case 5: $dothis; break;
case 3: $dothat; break;
default: $donothing; break;
}
This sounds like a job for *dun dun dun* GOTO!
Kidding, of course ;)
Cheers,
Rob.

you should be removed and banned from this list for even just
THINKING
about using a GOTO! :P
(yes, there are still *SOME* (and i use that loosely) benefits to the
GOTO command, but in reality, no.)
People, people, don't you realize that break IS a goto?? It's just one
of limited scope.
By that logic, so is a function call.
Hey, hey... what do you call a group of gotos?

How is it failing? What error(s) are you seeing on screen or in
your log files? Noting that $value would contain an array, is that
the problem? And why are you using ending quotes in your echo? You
should just place the semicolon immediately after $value.

First of all, no it doesn't. Placed inside single quotes, it'll
not only try to return it verbatim (i.e. - the variable would be
printed to screen), but it'll also cause a parse error, as you reuse
single quotes in the variable key container.

On Windows, PHP will happily access files and directories with spaces...
?php
file_put_contents('My name is Richard.txt', 'Hello Richard');
?
If you intend to pass the filename to a command line tool, then the
filename must be wrapped with double quotes ...
?php
exec('tool.exe My name is Richard.txt');
?
If you intend to pass the filename to a command line tool and the tool
has spaces in the name too, then you need to wrap both with quotes ...
?php
exec('C:\Program Files\tool.exe My name is Richard.txt');
?
If you are using a version of PHP before V5.3.0, please read
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php#101579. Your code would
need to be ...
?php
exec('C:\Program Files\tool.exe My name is Richard.txt');
?
I've added some _ to that so you can easily see the single and double
quotes ... (they aren't part of the real code, just there to show you
the quotes) ...
?php
exec(_'___C:\Program Files\tool.exe__ __My name is Richard.txt___'_);
?

Like Richard said, you can use quotes if you're passing things to the shell, and also a backslash will work too. The only thing I would avoid if possible is spaces in paths that would reach the client side, i.e. in image paths, css files, etc, as I've heard historic browsers have trouble sometimes escaping the spaces automatically.
