Thanks to this post https://stackoverflow.com/a/26103014/3481654

The formula for that is

$time = round(time() / 300) * 300;

In complete working code 

function nearest5Mins($time) {
  $time = (round(strtotime($time) / 300)) * 300;
  return date('Y-M-d H:i', $time);
}
echo nearest5Mins('11/14/2017 22:48');
echo "<br>";
echo nearest5Mins('11/14/2017 11:23');
