Please see the below code.

You have to specify the correct timezone. Otherwise the message will be displayed in unexpected time.

$timezone = "Asia/Calcutta";
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
$hour = date("H");
if($hour >= 23 || $hour < 5)
{
    echo "Error Message";
}

Cheers!

Don't bother about date, the time is all you need:

$currentHour = (int) date('H');

if ($currentHour >= 23 || $currentHour < 5) {
    // warning here
}

That's quite a simple check. Just see if the hour of the day is either smaller then 5 or 23 or larger, like this:

if(date('H') < 5 || date('H') >= 23) {
    echo 'WARNING!';
}
