在时间格式之间转换语法

Question

just having a little trouble converting between php time formats... not sure where I am off. Amongst other things, I am changing between 12 and 24 hour time.

$start_time= "02/12/2015 12:00 AM";  //this is a string

$myDateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('m/d/Y h:i a', $start_time);
$newDateString = $myDateTime->format('Y-m-d H:i');

echo ($newDateString);  //empty at the moment

My desired output format is:

2015-02-12 12:00

Sincere thanks for any help. It is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with your code except a missing ; in the first line. Only one small change you can make. In the output you can change H to h since your desired output is in 12 hour format, rest is already fine.

$newDateString = $myDateTime->format('Y-m-d h:i');

2015-02-12 12:00

Fiddle

P.S: Sometimes i seriously wonder some up-votes were not necessary at all, I mean you could have run this code yourself and noticed it was already good. Just gave some up-votes to someone without taking any real help from them.

My Act of telling you that you are missing a ; and need to change one letter is not a real help. Waste of time for you too :)
