Dare using Javascript oO

HTML Code:

<script>
&copy; 2011-
<script type="text/javascript">
var curdate = new Date()
var year = curdate.getFullYear()
document.write(year)
</script>

Easier:

Code:

<p>Copyright &copy; 2011 - <?php echo date('Y'); ?></p>

You can use Javascript, but that only draws upon the date and time information of the Client Computer. Otherwise, the example provided by Decker is quite adequate.
