What steps can be taken to ensure the server displays the correct time in PHP scripts?

To ensure the server displays the correct time in PHP scripts, you can set the correct timezone using the `date_default_timezone_set()` function. This will ensure that all date and time functions in your PHP scripts use the correct timezone.

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

// Now all date and time functions will use the correct timezone
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
