What potential issues can arise when outputting dates in PHP, and how can they be addressed for accuracy?

One potential issue when outputting dates in PHP is displaying the incorrect timezone. To address this, you can set the timezone using the `date_default_timezone_set()` function to ensure the date is displayed accurately. 

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

// Output the current date and time in the specified timezone
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
