From a data feed I'm getting date and time in this format:
19:24:15 06/13/2013
I need to have it converted to be in 12-hour AM/PM without the seconds. So the above time would be 7:24 PM. The date should remain in mm/dd/yyyy format. Is there an elegant way to do this in PHP (not MySQL)? Thanks!
I think you can use date() function to achive this
$date = '19:24:15 06/13/2013';
echo date('h:i:s a m/d/Y', strtotime($date));
This will output
07:24:15 pm 06/13/2013
h is used for 12 digit time
i stands for minutes
s seconds
a will return am or pm (use in uppercase for AM PM)
m is used for months with digits
d is used for days in digit
Y uppercase is used for 4 digit year (use it lowercase for two digit)
Updated
This is with DateTime
$date = new DateTime('19:24:15 06/13/2013');
echo $date->format('h:i:s a m/d/Y') ;
Use smaller h
// 24 hrs
H:i
// output 14:20
// 12 hrs
h:i
// output 2:20
You can use date function to format it by using the code below:
echo date("g:i a", strtotime("13:30:30 UTC"));
output: 1:30 pm
