I think you jumped the gun, 05:00:00 is correct but the AM / PM was
ommitted from
the output

NOT BOGUS.
sniper@php.net, you missed his point entirely. His code is correct.
strotime() doesn't account for the 12 hour format being passed in,
that's the
issue. The time string returned is passed to date(), which outputs
correctly
strtotime()'s invalid conversion of the text string.
The issue is when a 12 hour format time like 5:00 PM is passed in, it
always
returns with 5:00 AM.
He is obviously using h for the date output, but that's not important
what-so-
ever. This should be fixed.

Your script is buggy. Read this manual page a bit more carefully:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
h - hour, 12-hour format; i.e. "01" to "12" H - hour,
24-hour format; i.e. "00" to "23"

I'm writing a timeclock for work, but have a problem processing 12 hour
times:
--Script--
<?php
$T=array('05:00 PM','05:00PM','5:00 PM','5:00PM');
foreach ($T as $TIME)
{
echo $TIME.'<br>';
echo strtotime($TIME).'<br>';
echo date("Y-m-d h:i:s",strtotime($TIME)).'<br><br>';
}
?>
--Output--
05:00 PM
1026432000
2002-07-11 05:00:00
05:00PM
1026432000
2002-07-11 05:00:00
5:00 PM
1026432000
2002-07-11 05:00:00
5:00PM
1026432000
2002-07-11 05:00:00
I've compiled PHP 4.2.1 for Apache 2.0.39 with SSLOpen 0.9.7 beta 2.
PHP is installed as a module.
Is it me or my box?
Thanks in advance,
Mike Wilmes
