How can the use of the date_default_timezone_set() function impact the display of time-sensitive data in PHP modules like the one described in the forum thread?

The use of the date_default_timezone_set() function can impact the display of time-sensitive data in PHP modules by setting the default timezone for date and time functions. This ensures that the displayed time data is accurate and consistent across different timezones. To solve this issue, you can set the appropriate timezone using date_default_timezone_set() before any date or time-related functions are called in your PHP code.

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

// Your PHP code for displaying time-sensitive data here
// For example:
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
