PHP returning wrong current time
I'm having a problem using the function date using the parameters to return the current time.
When I use the function:
$hora = date('H:i:s');
When I give a echo in the variable $hora to check, I have the following result:
14:45:21
But now it's 09: 45.
Is there any PHP or Xampp configuration that might be changing the schedule?
The date is returning correctly, but the time is not.

In the php file.ini you have to change the timezone.
If you use Xampp you find the file in xampp \ php\php.ini
Just change the line below or add it there, after that restart XAMPP apache and try again.
date.timezone = America/Sao_Paulo
Is picking up the server time.
To fix just use PHP's date_default_timezone_set.
For Brasilia Time use: 'America/Sao_Paulo'. Other time zones you can find here .
The code will look like this:
date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');
$hora = date('H:i:s');
Use date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo'); to configure your
Common error: change php code.ini of line 975 (more or less):
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/Sao_Paulo // linha 975
But in fact you should change in line 1969:
[Date]
date.timezone=America/Sao_Paulo //linha 1969
