How can PHP be used to retrieve server time rather than user time on a webpage?

To retrieve the server time rather than the user time on a webpage, you can use PHP to get the server's current time. This ensures that the time displayed is consistent across all users accessing the webpage, regardless of their local time settings.

<?php
$server_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo "Server time: " . $server_time;
?>
