check what your timezone setting is in your `.ini` file(s). You may need to set it to (your) local time. This happened to me before when installing PHP on a local machine I once had. — Funk Forty Niner, Nov 10 '19 at 01:56
See this Q&A here on Stack https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32224547/setting-the-timezone-for-php-in-the-php-ini-file - I think it would be a possible duplicate. — Funk Forty Niner, Nov 10 '19 at 02:00

Probably your timezone is wrong, try to set this before your code:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Fortaleza');

Change 'America/Fortaleza' to your timezone.

You can set it in php.ini too:

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = "America/Fortaleza"
