How to get AM/PM from a datetime in PHP [duplicate]

Question

I have a date time in a variable. My format is 08/04/2010 22:15:00. I want to display this like 10.15 PM. How to do this in PHP?

Answer 1

You need to convert it to a UNIX timestamp (using strtotime) and then back into the format you require using the date function.

For example:

$currentDateTime = '08/04/2010 22:15:00'; $newDateTime = date('h:i A', strtotime($currentDateTime)); 

Answer 2

$dateString = '08/04/2010 22:15:00'; $dateObject = new DateTime($dateString); echo $dateObject->format('h:i A');
