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 you want to parse in the date from your Mysql and you want to remove time then you can use this function

$date1=date("Y-m-d",strtotime('$your database field'))
