Set current date in PHP and put in HTML value in an input type = 'date'

I tried as follows but it doesn't work 

 <form action="add.php" method="POST" name="form1">
      <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Nome do funcionario</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" placeholder="Nome" type="text" name="name" required>
      </div>
      <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Horario</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" placeholder="Hora" type="text" name="hora" required>
      </div>
      <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Data</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" value="<?php echo date('d/m/Y');?>" type="date"  name="data" required>
      </div>
      <button type="submit" class="w3-button w3-padding-large w3-green w3-margin-bottom">Adicionar <i class="fa fa-plus"></i></button>
    </form>

It ignores the value Part

Try as follows: 

<form action="add.php" method="POST" name="form1">
    <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Nome do funcionario</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" placeholder="Nome" type="text" name="name" required>
    </div>
    <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Horario</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" placeholder="Hora" type="text" name="hora" required>
    </div>
    <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Data</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" value="<?php echo date('Y-m-d');?>" type="date"  name="data" required>
    </div>
    <button type="submit" class="w3-button w3-padding-large w3-green w3-margin-bottom">Adicionar <i class="fa fa-plus"></i></button>
</form>

Replacing date('d/m/Y') with date('Y-m-d'), as this is the proper format for input type='date'

Note: If you modify what I indicated in the snippet will not work because here in the stack there is no snippet php

The format of the attribute value of the field type date must be in the format yyyy-mm-dd or the format of php (date('Y-m-d')), the format displayed will depend on the browser location setting. Remember that not all browsers support this type of field.

 <form action="add.php" method="POST" name="form1">
      <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Nome do funcionario</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" placeholder="Nome" type="text" name="name" required>
      </div>
      <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Horario</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" placeholder="Hora" type="text" name="hora" required>
      </div>
      <div class="w3-section">
        <label>Data</label>
        <input class="w3-input w3-border" value="<?php echo date('Y-m-d');?>" type="date"  name="data" required>
      </div>
      <button type="submit" class="w3-button w3-padding-large w3-green w3-margin-bottom">Adicionar <i class="fa fa-plus"></i></button>
    </form>
