<html>, <head>, <meta>, <title>: These tags define the structure and metadata of the HTML document.
<body>: Begins the body of the HTML document.
<?php echo date('Y'); ?>: This PHP snippet dynamically generates the current year using the date() function with the format specifier 'Y'.
<p>© <?php echo date('Y'); ?> PHP Exercises - w3resource</p>: This paragraph element contains the copyright symbol, the current year generated by PHP, and additional text.
