Question

I need to remove the seconds off of a returned time value. I get

12:00:00

I want

12:00pm

I tried using date() but it kept returning the time as 1:00am for everything.

echo date('g:ia', $timestamp);

Answer 1

Use strtotime() –

echo date('g:ia', strtotime($timestamp));

The date() function – string date ( string $format [, int $timestamp = time() ] ) – where $timestamp is to be an integer Unix timestamp.
