Answer 1

Before we insert to table, php time should be converted to my sql compatible time format. You can use the below code for that

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat( 'H:i A', $php_time);
$sql_time = $date->format( 'H:i:s');

• $php_time - time format in php

• $sql_time - time format in mysql

Answer 2

So you need to convert the Time formats from PHP to MYSQL

This is example and I have tested it

$time_from_input = date("y-m-d", (strtotime($_POST['time']));

Now this time is converted into MYSQL format.

For vice versa case. MYSQL time to PHP we need to change the format you want to display. just search or play with date() function.
