How can PHP developers address time zone discrepancies when displaying timestamps in their applications to ensure accurate time representation?

PHP developers can address time zone discrepancies by setting the default time zone in their applications using the `date_default_timezone_set()` function. This ensures that all timestamps are displayed accurately based on the specified time zone.

php 
// Set the default time zone to UTC
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

// Display timestamp with the correct time zone
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
