Question

I have a time “7:00 am” that I need to split into $hour, $min, $ampm. Is there an easy way that I can split this in to 3 variables?

Answer 1

$yourtime = "7:00 am";
preg_match("/([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2}) ([a-zA-Z]+)/", $yourtime, $match);
$hour = $match[1];
$min = $match[2];
$ampm = $match[3];
