I am pulling a value from a MySQL timestamp column into a php script. When It displays nicely, but there are two problems I need to fix. First, it's an hour behind since my hosting company is in a different time zone. Second, it displays military time instead of 12 hour time. So, how can I mold the displayed data? In other words, &nbsp;the current display is &quot;2007-04-08 14:25:02&quot; but I want it to read as &quot;2007-04-08 3:25:02 PM&quot;. What is the best way to accomplish this? Thank you so much!

Modifying display of MySQL Timestamp data in PHP

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
