When I pull the date out of the db, it comes back like this:
2009-10-14T19:00:00
I want to format it in two different ways...
The first: F d, Y The second h:m (12 hour format)
Everything I try returns December 1969... Help?! I feel so confused...
Normally the code is just:
echo date('F d, Y h:mA', strtotime('2009-10-14 19:00:00'));
Note that if strtotime() can't figure out the date, it returns the time as 1/1/1970 00:00:00 GMT.
If you want to format it in the database (assuming MySQL):
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(t.column, '%M %D, %Y'), --October 14, 2009
DATE_FORMAT(t.column, '%h:%i %p') --hh:mm am/pm
FROM TABLE t
...or if you want to do the conversion in PHP:
echo date('F d, Y h:mA', strtotime('2009-10-14 19:00:00'));
