title: add php echo year to existing variable
body: <p>How do I add a echo <code>date("Y")</code> to the <code>$creds</code> variable?  I have tried a bunch of different ways and it blows it up, what is the proper syntax?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$creds = 'Copyright &amp;copy; &amp;middot; by &lt;a href="http://w#" target="_blank"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;';
  return $creds;
  </code></pre>
