That's exactly what it should be then. A copyright notice lists the year of publication. Not the current year.

Yep. If you write
``` © <?=$currentYear?> Your Name ```
As many sites do, it may actually invalidate your copyright. You have to put all of the years when you made copyrightable edits to the page. A range like 2010-2025 is only allowed if every single year in that range is included.
