Solution 1 - Php
You need to convert it to a UNIX timestamp (using strtotime) and then back into the format you require using the date function.
For example:
$currentDateTime = '08/04/2010 22:15:00';
$newDateTime = date('h:i A', strtotime($currentDateTime));
Solution 2 - Php
$dateString = '08/04/2010 22:15:00';
$dateObject = new DateTime($dateString);
echo $dateObject->format('h:i A');
Solution 3 - Php
Use strtotime() to make the date a UNIX timestamp.
For output, check out the various options of date().
$timestamp = strtotime("08/04/2010 22:15:00");
date("h.i A", $timestamp);
Solution 4 - Php
<?php
$dateTime = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Asia/Kolkata'));
echo $dateTime->format("d/m/y H:i A");
?>
You can use this to display the date like this
22/06/15 10:46 AM
Solution 5 - Php
Like this:
$date = '08/04/2010 22:15:00';
echo date('h:i A', strtotime($date));
Result:
10:15 PM

for flexibility with different formats, use:
$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('m/d/Y H:i:s', '08/04/2010 22:15:00');
echo $dt->format('g:i A')
Check the php manual for additional format options.
Solution 7 - Php
PHP Code:
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
$currentDateTime=date('m/d/Y H:i:s');
$newDateTime = date('h:i A', strtotime($currentDateTime));
echo $newDateTime;
Output: 05:03 PM
Solution 8 - Php
$currentDateTime = $row['date'];
echo $newDateTime = date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A', strtotime($currentDateTime));
Solution 9 - Php
For (PHP >= 5.2.0):
You can use DateTime class. However you might need to change your date format. Didn't try yours.
The following date format will work for sure: YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS
$date = new DateTime("2010-04-08 22:15:00");
echo $date->format("g"). '.' .$date->format("i"). ' ' .$date->format("A");
//output
//10.15 PM
However, in my opinion, using . as a separator for 10.15 is not recommended because your users might be confused either this is a decimal number or time format. The most common way is to use 10:15 PM

Solution 11 - Php
It is quite easy. Assuming you have a field(dateposted) with the type "timestamp" in your database table already queried and you want to display it, have it formated and also have the AM/PM, all you need do is shown below.
<?php
echo date("F j, Y h:m:s A" ,strtotime($row_rshearing['dateposted']));
?>
Note: Your OUTPUT should look some what like this depending on the date posted
