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

Using PHP version 4.4.9 & MySQL 5.0, this worked for me:

$oDate = strtotime($row['PubDate']);
$sDate = date("m/d/y",$oDate);
echo $sDate

PubDate is the column in MySQL.
