What are the best practices for ensuring that PHP scripts always display the correct time?

To ensure that PHP scripts always display the correct time, it is recommended to set the correct timezone in your PHP configuration file or within your script using the `date_default_timezone_set()` function. This will ensure that all date and time functions in your script use the specified timezone for accurate time display. 

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

// Display the current date and time
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
