php - Splitting Datetime into a date and a time value

Question

Can someone give me a quick and dirty way to split a datetime (28-1-2011 14:32:55) into just the date (28-1-2011) and the time ( 14:32 ) or even better (2:32 PM) using PHP. Using a mySQL database as well.

Cheers

Answer 1

If you're using PHP > 5.2:

$myvalue = '28-1-2011 14:32:55';

$datetime = new DateTime($myvalue);

$date = $datetime->format('Y-m-d');
$time = $datetime->format('H:i:s');

Prior to PHP 5.2 mhitza gave a good answer.
