Are there any potential errors in the way the date and time data is being retrieved and formatted in the PHP script?

The potential error in the script could be related to the timezone not being set properly before retrieving and formatting the date and time data. To solve this issue, you can set the timezone using the `date_default_timezone_set()` function to ensure that the date and time data are retrieved and formatted correctly.

// Set the timezone to the desired value
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

// Retrieve the current date and time in the specified format
$currentDateTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

// Output the formatted date and time
echo $currentDateTime;
