If you notice, his will output a range of years based on the $startyear parameter.
So autoUpdatingCopyright(2006) would output
2006-2010
Your example just outputs 2010.
A matter of choice as to which you like best I guess... The range is common however...

Is this not much simpler?!
© 2009 - <?xxx $year = (date('Y')); echo $year;?>
(xxx = php)
© 2009 - <?xxx $year = (date('Y')); echo $year;?>
(xxx = php)
