Convert from MySQL datetime to another format with PHP

Question

I have a datetime column in MySQL.

How can I convert it to the display as mm/dd/yy H:M (AM/PM) using PHP?

Answer 1

You can have trouble with dates not returned in Unix Timestamp, so this works for me...

return date("F j, Y g:i a", strtotime(substr($datestring, 0, 15)))
