Re: Time Formatting

I have 3 queries and some php to run them.  What I need is
to display the time in a HH:MM am format.  Doesn't need to
be stored that way in the table?


These two add or update records:

insert into feasts (timestamp, date, time, address, direction, 
host, phone)
values ('current_timestamp', '$date', '$time','$addr',
'$directions','$host','$phone');

update feasts set date='$date', time='$time', host='$host',
phone='$phon', address=$addr','direction='$directions'
where feast_id='$feast_id';


These retrieve and display records:

select * from feasts;

$time = $result->fields[3];

and in a form,
print ("
\n");
and
print ("\n");

So I am not sure how to do this.

Thanks,
Tom
