how to change time from "1400" to "2:00pm"

Question

I have a database that lists time as "100", "200", "1000", "1400", etc. What is the easiest way to turn this into something like "2:00 pm"? I really don't want to use a bunch of conditional operations if I don't have to.

you are trying to show 100 as 1:00pm ? – Nouphal.M Mar 07 '14 at 18:25 — Nouphal.M, Mar 07 '14 at 18:25

To change the value to time using AM/PM you can do as

$time = '1400';

echo date('h:i A',strtotime($time));

You can use the php date() function. You can convert it to any format you want. Here is the documentation

For you case, you can do do:

<?php

    $time = 1400;
    echo date('h:i A', strtotime($time));

?>

This will print out 2:00 PM
