In mysql i make column Name: post_time, Type: DATETIME. Is this correct?

How can view time as my desired format Time: 2:50 pm/am and date as Date: Aug 7 2016

Hi, here is the updated code which works fine. My question is how can i skip the first row of my .csv file which generally contains header( id, name, email, address).

<?php
include 'connection.php';

class Import {
    private $pdo;

    public function __construct() {     
        $obj_connection = new Db_connection();
        $this->pdo = $obj_connection->connection();     
    }

    public function import_csv() {

        $extension= end(explode(".", basename($_FILES['file']['name'])));
        if (isset($_FILES['file']) && $_FILES['file']['size'] < 10485760 && $extension=='csv') {
            $file = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name']; 
            $handle = fopen($file, "r"); 
            try {           
                while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {                   
                $importSQL = "INSERT INTO tbl_applicants ( application_no, applicant_name, applicant_email, applicant_mobile, applicant_address ) VALUES('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]')";
                $this->pdo->query($importSQL);  
                }
            }
            catch(PDOException $e) {
                echo $e->getMessage();
            }

        }
    }

}

There is an easy way to do it I think. You can use SQL function "CURDATE()" to get the cussrent date and CURTIME() to get the current time. Then simply INSERT into your table. like this.

$q ="select CURDATE()"; $curdate = mysql_query($q); then mysql_query("INSERT INTO table(column_name) VALUES $curdate"); Do the same thing for Time. This a very basic approach. Hope you find help.

Use TIME_FORMAT(time,format) and DATE_FORMAT(date,format) function for this purpose. An example would be

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(post_time, '%b %e %Y %r') AS Newdate
FROM tbl_blog;

If you are using DATETIME default date time storing method in php and you want to display this your desired format like 2:50 am/pm, then:

=> Where you want to display convert this time to timestamp first by using default function of php i.e. strtotime($time)

once time is converted into timestamp you can easily format this timestamp into your desired format by using php default date function date($format, $timestamp).
