php - is the time of computer and localhost same?

Question

I have a xampp in my computer. When I try to echo in my php files like:

$time=strtotime("now");
echo $time;

It gets me diffrent time than my computer's time. The time echo gives me is about two hours earlier than my computer's time.

How can I fix the time of my local server. Thanks

http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php: "Each parameter of this function uses the default time zone unless a time zone is specified in that parameter. Be careful not to use different time zones in each parameter unless that is intended. See date_default_timezone_get() on the various ways to define the default time zone."

Probably a timezone problem, see above link for complete documentation.
