How can caching affect the accuracy of time() function in PHP?

Caching can affect the accuracy of the time() function in PHP because it may return a cached value instead of the current time. To solve this issue, you can disable caching for the specific function that relies on the time() function to ensure accurate time values are always returned. 

// Disable caching for time() function
ini_set('opcache.enable', 0);

// Use time() function to get current timestamp
$current_time = time();

echo $current_time;
