Convert from MySQL datetime to another format with PHP


I have a datetime column in MySQL.
How can I convert it to the display as mm/dd/yy H:M (AM/PM) using PHP?

Solution :

To convert a date retrieved from MySQL into the format requested (mm/dd/yy H:M (AM/PM)):
// $datetime is something like: 2014-01-31 13:05:59
$time = strtotime($datetimeFromMysql);
$myFormatForView = date("m/d/y g:i A", $time);
// $myFormatForView is something like: 01/31/14 1:05 PM
Refer to the PHP date formatting options to adjust the format.
