How to Add a Copyright Symbol to Your Website Footer (HTML & PHP)

There are many important facts to consider when creating a website.

I propose to consider now one small detail that plays a big role. This is the copyright sign (©) or, as it is also called, the copyright sign for the site.

This signature means, copyright on the content of the content of the site (in our version).

How to correctly put the copyright sign for the site

On any site you can see a variety of combinations and sequences of images of the copyright sign, the name of the site and the date of foundation of the resource. Still, the following variant will be correct: © https://libtime.com, 2010-2026.

The first symbol means the copyright sign, followed by a link or the name of the organization, or just the site.

After that put the year of foundation of the site (organization), and at the end - the date until which these rights are valid. If you put this signature on the site, the last digit is usually the current year.

In order not to change this signature after each New Year (and this idea usually comes when there will be a desire to work after the holidays:), so a few days or even weeks late), you can just instead of the last digit to write a simple php-code:

echo date('Y');

This code outputs the current year on its own. Below is the code:

© https://libtime.com, 2011 - 2026

This one line will save you at least 5-10 minutes of time each year ;-)
