Splitting Datetime into a date and a time value

Question

Can someone give me a quick and dirty way to split a datetime (28-1-2011 14:32:55) into just the date (28-1-2011) and the time ( 14:32 ) or even better (2:32 PM) using PHP.

Answer 1

if your source of data is MySQL:

SELECT DATE( date_field ) AS date_part, TIME( date_field ) AS time_part ....

Edit : to answer the question from comments (example):

WHERE DATE( date_field ) > '2017-01-01'
