php not parsing when I add it to a template

Hi,

I have a copyright notice at the bottom of my pages. It outputs something that looks like this:

Copyright © 2010 Link to my homepage

The code for this is as follows



I have this line pasted into the footer div in the default modx template. I have used this line many times on non modx sites I hand coded with no problems. It returns the current year. However, in modx site, the php does nothing. The page validates. If I look at the source code, I see the php there, not the year.

What do I need to do differently? I do not want to have to update the year by hand on every site I manage. If I have to make this a snippet call, how do I make this return the year as a value and output it to the template? I’m not very good at writing my own php from scratch.

Thanks,
-Dan

make new snippet with name year, and paste this code:



and then back to template and use:

Templates, chunks and document content cannot have PHP code. Use snippets, as Kristalin said.

Ok. That works awesome. Thanks.
