hello,i am editing a program for e-ticketing.and i am having a hard time figuring out on how will i convert time into am/pm..in the process of buying ticket,we have to choose time departure and if its am or pm,then the problem is i dont know how will i put it into sentence.. thanks

If you have a date and a time such as 2010-08-24 18:00 you can first convert this to a (unix) time stamp with the strtotime command. You can then use that time stamp in the date command to convert it to whatever display format you need:

$timestamp      = strtotime("2010-08-24 18:00");
   $date_and_time  = date("Y-m-d g:i A",$timestamp);
   $just_time      = date("g:i A",$timesatmp);

You need to post your code using code tags. If you have a question or if you are having a problem, please state what it is.

on the program there is a date and time already.we can filter it by dates which includes already the time..now i want to put the time departure which the user have to choose on the option value of time(1:00-12;00) and chooses if its am or pm...now the problem is how am i going to add it on the database and have a separate filtering for the sales reports by time..and ampm also....thanks
