Get the wrong date in php with a virtual machine

Question

I installed a virtual machine with php, mysql, apache2.

Now when I write in the terminal : date I get : Thu Dec 06:55:25 EET 2016.

When I try to get the now date in php,

I write : error_log(print_r(new \DateTime('now'),true), 3, "/tmp/error.log"); And I get :

DateTime Object
(
  [date] => 2016-12-01 06:56:33
  [timezone_type] => 3
  [timezone] => Europe/Bucharest
)

But now the hour is : 17:06.

How can resolve this ? Please help me and sorry for my english.

It looks like the system and PHP dates are in sync, but incorrect. You need to fix the date in your OS. — aynber, Dec 01 '16 at 15:12
I'm fond of `sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org`, if the virtual machine is using linux. — aynber, Dec 01 '16 at 15:54

Make sure that you're settng timezones in correct php.ini file

Make sure your system timings are correct first.

You can set default timezone in PHP like this:

Open your php.ini file
Add the following line of code to top of your php.ini file

date.timezone = "Your Timezone Here"
Once you've saved the changes, restart your apache and php services.
You get it running right from now on.

Hope this helps!
