How do I convert date/time from 24-hour format to 12-hour AM/PM? [duplicate]

Question

From a data feed I'm getting date and time in this format:

19:24:15 06/13/2013 

I need to have it converted to be in 12-hour AM/PM without the seconds. So the above time would be 7:24 PM. The date should remain in mm/dd/yyyy format. Is there an elegant way to do this in PHP (not MySQL)? Thanks!

I think you can use date() function to achive this

$date = '19:24:15 06/13/2013';  echo date('h:i:s a m/d/Y', strtotime($date)); 

This will output

07:24:15 pm 06/13/2013 

Live Sample

h is used for 12 digit time
i stands for minutes
s seconds
a will return am or pm (use in uppercase for AM PM)
m is used for months with digits
d is used for days in digit
Y uppercase is used for 4 digit year (use it lowercase for two digit)

Updated

This is with DateTime

$date = new DateTime('19:24:15 06/13/2013'); echo $date->format('h:i:s a m/d/Y') ;
