Question

Okay so have a database that uses the time functions for a list of events and then displays the data as:

    echo "<b>Time Frame:";          
    echo "$time_start";  echo "&nbsp;-&nbsp;";    echo "$time_end"; 

Although that displays the time as 11:00:00 if i want the time to be 11:00 am. Is there anyway to make this time display as a standard “11:00”? and also if in the mysql datababse enter it as military time (ex. 13:00) to make it display 1:00pm?

I have tried many things. Please help.

Answer 1

echo date('G:i',strtotime($time_start)); //date('g:i a',strtotime($time_start));
or
$date = date_create($time_start);
echo date_format($date, 'G:i'); // echo date_format($date, 'g:i a');
or
$date = new DateTime($time_start);
echo $date->format('G:i'); // echo $date->format('g:i a');
