hello, i tried the following on a guess.  how would i properly write the following?

 

    
$start3='07:30AM';
$finish3='05:15PM';

$tstart1 = date( 'h:i', strtotime($start3) );
$tfinish1 = date( 'h:i', strtotime($finish3) );

i forgot, the output im looking for is

 

07:30

17:15

I think you need a space between the minutes and the meridiem.  You definitely need to use upper-case "H" for the 24-hour format:

 

$start3='07:30 AM';
$finish3='05:15 PM';

$tstart1 = date( 'H:i', strtotime($start3) );
   $tfinish1 = date( 'H:i', strtotime($finish3) );

it was the upper case H.

 

been many hours at this.  thanks.
