The php posted here gives me 552 for this year. The date at top of forum says 545. And it's 546. something doesn't match up.

On the other hand, this bit of php seems to be accurate
Code:
<?php
$this_day = date('d'); //today
$this_month = date('m');
$this_year = date('Y');
$base_month = '7';
$base_year = '2009';

$month_diff = (($this_year - $base_year) * 12) + ($this_month - $base_month);
$canonyears_diff = $month_diff * 6;

$mod = array(-2,-1,0,1,2,3,3);
$year_mod = $mod[($this_day - 1) / 5]; // magic

$current_year = $canonyears_diff + $year_mod;
?>

Hhhmmmmm... I may have posted an old version of the code for the one. Let me check, I'll also try your version on my test site.
