Convert 12hour clock to 24hour clock PHP

I would really love some help with this.

Currently when I use the following PHP, my output is 02:42. What I would like is 14:42.

<?php 

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); 

echo date("h:i",time()); 

?>

Also, is it possible to then use the converted time value to create a conditional statement to say if greater than 10am, do this.

Many thanks for any pointers

This will convert to 24 hours clock to 12 hours clock

    $date='17:29';
    echo  date ('g:i a',strtotime($date));
    output: 5:29 pm

This will convert to 12 hours clock to 24 hours clock

    $date='5:29';
    echo date ('H:i',strtotime($date));
    output: 17:29

echo date("H:i",time());

Will give you 24-based hours.

For the second Problem you could use:

if(date("a") == "pm" OR date("g") > 10){ ... }

Use one of these: G - 24 hour c (0-23) H - 2 digit 24 hour (00-23)

echo date("H:i", time());

Also to check

$hour = date("H", time());

if($hour > 10)
{
//do stuff
}

I think all you need to do is change the lower case h into an upper case H

all the formats you can use are here http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
