Question

I use a radio button that gives me two variables concatenated and I need to separate them later. It gives me a time and a date in a format 11:30pm3, where 3 is the date and 11:30pm is the time. I can split it fine with my function but if the time is one digit, like 7:30pm for example, it throws things off. I can use military time but that’s not what I want.Is there a way to change this so it splits the string right after character “m” so it will work for am/pm, regardless of the length of the time being 7:00am or 07:00am. Thanks in advance.

$string = $Radio;   //This is the value I get 
$MeetTime = substr("$string", 0, 7); //Gives me 11:30am
$MeetDay  = substr("$string", 7, 2); //Gives me 2 

Answer 1

find out where the m is and do your logic on that

if m is at 6 then its a full length one

$loc = stripos($string,"m");

if its at 5 then it’s short so adjust your split
