Great tip! Sometimes when I work with plain static pages, I use a bit of javascript to change the year dynamically.

Yeah I always forget about that.

I saw a page the other day, with a "mailto:" link listed on it, that a major web development company developed for a blind client, my best friend Chad, who has a website for a karaoke show he puts on here locally, he does this for a living, he's a really talented performer.

I keep thinking "gosh, he's gonna get so much spam in his email its not funny". I thought that was a horrible thing to do to a fellow blind person. I told him I'd fix it for him, but he says "well no thanks they know what their doing". well apparently not if they left a mailto link right to an email address for a spammer to harvest right on the front page of his website.

He's been a friend of mine since the 4th grade. I feel so bad for him, but maybe I'm making too much out of this, I don't know. Least they could have covered it with Javascript or something.

There is a major learning curve in using speech software for the blind, to read email and webpages to us, there's like a ton of different hotkeys to memorize, and he's going to get frustrated if over half his email is going to be spam.

This maybe works better:


/**
* Arma leyenda de copyright del tipo © 2009 Toro Corp. o © 2009-2010 Toro Corp. tomando como a#o de inicio el indicado como parametro y el a#o actual como final.
* @param unknown_type $anno_desde
* @return unknown_type
*/
function copyright_vigente($anno_desde = 2009) {
$anno_actual = date('Y');
$devolucion_annos = "© $anno_actual";
if ($anno_actual > $anno_desde) {
$devolucion_annos = "© $anno_desde-$anno_actual";
}
return $devolucion_annos;
}


Example:


$copy_tt = copyright_vigente(2009);
echo $copy_tt;
