Question

So I need away to in PHP turn pm / am into 24 hour time, We use Yahoo API to get currency rates, but they seem to give it to us by am/pm.

I thought date might work, but when I read into that function it would had no way to turning pm into 24 hours.

5: 55pm

Answer 1

This should work

date("H:i", strtotime("5:55 pm"));

and if you want to go the other way,

date("g:i a", strtotime("17:55"));
