Most people just use the year as in 2011. I like this then and now concept. Thx, Richard

Thanks! I’ve been looking for that code exactly. It works wonderfully.

@Brian: Thanks for the feedback. Yes, sometimes the output is modified by the software. Those two quotes surrounding the ‘Y’ should indeed be the same.

You have a curly single quote right before the “Y” on the third line. Simply changed to a single quote and all worked well. Thank you very much.

Well, this is the web, and ideas are shared. But when it is a blatant ripoff, I do get a bit irritated.

I have had this experience in the past. Something that I wrote first has appeared with very minor changes on big blogs (sometimes even as guest posts )

Whoa! I don’t know if I like that!!! haha.

The code snippet is hardly unique; this is probably the only way to do it in PHP. I just beat him to the punch, and published my article first.

But who knows, maybe he’s reading my blog. lol.

Thanks for the tip. I WILL FOLLOW UP. j/k
