Convert from MySQL datetime to another format with PHP

Question

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?

Answer 1

Finally the right solution for PHP 5.3 and above: (added optional Timezone to the Example like mentioned in the comments)

$date = \DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $mysql_source_date, new \DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$date->setTimezone(new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin')); // optional
echo $date->format('m/d/y h:i a');
