You should find info about the DateTime class to work with dates in php
$d = new DateTime('now');
$d->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
You should try this.
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// Output will be : 2019-08-16 09:41:24
try this code
$date=date_create(date("Y-m-d h:i:s"));
echo date_format($date,"Y-m-d H:i:s");
#output : 2019-08-16 09:49:20
