Code:
$year = date("Y"); // 2011
$shortYear = date("y"); // 11
$numericMonth = date("m"); // 01 through 12
$numericMonth2 = date("n"); // 1 through 12 (no leading zero)
$fullMonth = date("F"); // January through December
$shortMonth = date("M"); // Jan through DecSee: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

I cannot use this function becuase it may take year from client's (user's) pc which cannot be guaranteed to be right. thanks for the help but if there is any other method to get current year please do tell me

PHP is server-side, not client-side (ie: javascript).
The code above that I gave you will pull the current year from the server, not client.
BTW, CodeIgniter is written with PHP in case you were unaware.

jQuery = javascript = client-side. Javascript, of course, has a way to get the client's date... but you just said you didn't want the client's date.

You can use jQuery to make a JSON request to a controller such as CodeIgniter below:
Code:
<?php
class Ajax extends CI_Controller
{
function year()
{
print(json_encode(array(
'long' => date('Y'),
'short' => date('y')
)));
}
#
}
#
/* eof: controller/ajax.php */Code:
// <![CDATA[
$.ajax({
url: 'http://yourdomain/yourapplicationfolder/ajax/year',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
alert('long '+data.long+'\nshort '+data.short);
}
});
// ]]>More information about jQuery and Ajax you'll find here http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ , if you need to know how json works I recomend you to read http://www.json.org/ .
