store AM PM time string into TIME datatype in MySQL and retrieve with AM PM while display?
To insert:
# replace first argument of STR_TO_DATE with value from PHP/frontend
TIME( STR_TO_DATE( '10:00 PM', '%h:%i %p' ) );
To select:
# replace first argument with your time field
TIME_FORMAT( '22:00:00', '%h:%i %p' );
EDIT:
I'll just go ahead and presume you use mysql lib functions.
// first sanitize the $_POST input
// also, make sure you use quotes to identify the $_POST keys
$open = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST[ 'MondayOpen' ] );
$close = mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST[ 'MondayClose' ] );
// this is the query, which should work just fine.
$sql = '
INSERT INTO
`table_lib_hours`
SET
`day_name` = "Monday",
`day_open_time` = TIME( STR_TO_DATE( "' . $open . '", "%h:%i %p" ) ),
`day_close_time` = TIME( STR_TO_DATE( "' . $close . '", "%h:%i %p" ) )
';
$result = mysql_query( $sql );
Then to retrieve the values:
$sql = '
SELECT
`day_open_time`,
`day_close_time`,
TIME_FORMAT( `day_open_time`, "%h:%i %p" ) as day_open_time_formatted,
TIME_FORMAT( `day_close_time`, "%h:%i %p" ) as day_close_time_formatted
FROM
`table_lib_hours`
WHERE
`day_name` = "Monday"
';
$resultset = mysql_query( $sql );
This will return a result set where the formatted data is in the *_formatted
fields
EDIT:
Adjusted %m
(month) to %i
(minutes). A thank you to Donny for the well spotted slip up.
