date_create_from_format is returning wrong day

Question

I am currently facing an issue with date_create_from_format PHP. Here is the code:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kathmandu');
$date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y H:iA', '28/05/2016 15:24PM');
echo date('d/m/Y h:iA',$date->getTimestamp());
//returns 29/05/2016 03:24AM

I am just trying to change the 24 hour time to 12 hour. But now working.Thanks.

timezone is already there. Let me edit the question with timezone. timezone doesn't change anything. — BulletProof47, May 28 '16 at 11:57
could it be that `15:24` + `PM` won't work? either, or I guess. — Jeff, May 28 '16 at 12:00

You must create date from one type. Use PM-AM OR 24h format. Otherwise it will be 15:43 PM = 12:43 PM + 3 hour.

Try like this:

$date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y H:i', '28/05/2016 15:24');

UPDATE

If you do not control the input data, you can use a crutch:

$date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y H:i', substr('28/05/2016 15:24PM', 0, -2));

You have '28/05/2016 15:24PM' string in DB? – Maxim Tkach May 28 '16 at 12:53
Yes but from another API URL.Not that I can control. – BulletProof47 May 28 '16 at 12:54
This is bad, since 15:43 PM = 12:43 PM + 3 hour. Can use a crutch: $date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y H:i', str_replace(['PM', 'AM'], '', '28/05/2016 15:24PM')); OR $date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y H:i', substr('28/05/2016 15:24PM', 0, -2)); – Maxim Tkach May 28 '16 at 12:59
