note 96062 added to function.date

If you only want to get the year, such as for a copyright notice in your footer, there is a much faster way than using date("Y"): <?php $now = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; $sec_per_yr = 31556926; $year = ($now - ($now % $sec_per_yr)) / $sec_per_yr + 1970; ?> $year will be accurate enough (within a day) for use in your footer. Modulo and integer division are used because they're about twice as fast as using floor with floating point division in this case. ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 69.165.169.18 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96062 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96062/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96062/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96062/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96062/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96062/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96062/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96062 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96062 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
