    Using With PHP Variables

    PHP code block for use within The Loop: Assigns year to the variable $arc_year. This is used with the get_year_link() tag, which returns the URL as a link to the yearly archive for a post, displaying it within an anchor tag with the PHP echo command. See Formatting Date and Time for info on format strings used in get_the_time() tag.

    <?php $archive_year = get_the_time('Y'); ?>
    
    <a href="<?php echo get_year_link( $archive_year ); ?>"><?php the_time('Y'); ?> archive</a>
