How to use PHP get year in firefox ?

Seraphim · #1 20-05-2009

Hello,

I would use the getYear in FireFox, but it does not display correctly.

Code:

<html> 
<body> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var d = new Date () 
document.write ( "2005 -" + d.getYear ()) 
</ script> 
</ body> 
</ html>

Perfect in IE but in FireFox, nothing works (bad display).

Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much!

Did you think of those who have javascript disabled?

Your site should work well without javascript. The javascript in my opinion just to serve retail, to make something nice (like holding a CSS) and should not be essential for the proper functioning of your site.

You should be use getFullYear () instead of getYear ();

Before 2000, getYear () returned 98 for 1998. Firefox has therefore continue as follows: 1999 = 99 and therefore 2000 = 100 2001 = 101 ... etc

Javascript is very useful and it depends on what tests you do.
getFullYear () you will return in 2006 in Firefox and IE ...

or you can use getYear () and simply add 1900 if necessary:
var d = new Date ();
var year = d.getFullYear ();

Code only for the year:

Code:

Date.prototype.getTwoDigitYear = function () {return /(\d{2})$/.test (this.getFullYear()) ? RegExp.$1 : this}
