[SOLVED] Question about date time

[temujinleal]

Good day experts!! I would like to ask if is it possible in a date() function to determine that it will only change to PM or AM if it is already 1 o clock?

 

for example:

 

if the time now is 12AM, the next hour will be 1PM then after 12hours, it will be 1AM but before 1AM, it is still 12PM...

I'm just concern about the transition from AM to PM...

 

Thanks!! cheers!!

[PHP_PhREEEk]

date() requires a timestamp of some form... whether given directly or created with mktime(). No timestamp supplied implies the current time timestamp. The timestamp always knows whether AM or PM in 12 hour formatted displays, so if you include the AM/PM indicator, it will always be accurate.

sir is it possible that i can modify the transition of AM to PM if the time is 1 o clock instead of 12 o clock?

[PHP_PhREEEk]

If the time is 1 AM and you want it PM, just add or subtract 12 hours from it... I think that you are not being clear with exactly what you want to do here. Please give us an actual example of what you're doing...

the switch from AM to PM or PM to AM is made instantly, not after an hour has elapsed

 

If you run this script, which increments the time by 1 second

 

<?php

echo "<h3>At Midday</h3>";
$start = mktime (11,59,55);

for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) echo date ('g:i:s A', strtotime("+$i seconds", $start)), '<br>';

echo "<h3>At Midnight</h3>";
$start = mktime (23,59,55);

for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) echo date ('g:i:s A', strtotime("+$i seconds", $start)), '<br>';

?>

 

you get

[pre]At Midday

11:59:55 AM

11:59:56 AM

11:59:57 AM

11:59:58 AM

11:59:59 AM

12:00:00 PM

12:00:01 PM

12:00:02 PM

1:30 PM and so on then

 

11:00 PM

11:30 PM

12:00 PM

12:30 PM

1:00 AM

1:30 AM

 

 

Thanks for your replies!! i really appreciate it... :)

I don't why you want when it's clearly a wrong representation of the time, but you could fool it by subtracting an hour when outputting the am/pm bit

 

<?php

$time = strtotime('2007-12-29 12:30:00');

echo 'The time is ' . date ('g:i', $time) . date('A', strtotime('-1 hours', $time));


?>

i think it is really not possible to change the transition of AM PM... thanks for your replies!!! cheers!!
