I've made a query that calculates the total_time1
from 2 other fields called time_in
and time_out
using timediff(time_out, time_in) AS total_time1
.
Now, I want to convert that time into a better format instead of the usual hh:mm:ss
so in the same query I did DATE_FORMAT(total_time1, '%l:%i') AS total_time2
, but for some reason it doesn't work whenever I input a new time in and out.
This is the query:
$sql="SELECT
DATE_FORMAT(time_in, '%l:%i %p') AS time_in,
DATE_FORMAT(time_out, '%l:%i %p') AS time_out,
timediff(time_out, time_in) AS total_time1,
DATE_FORMAT(total_time1, '%l:%i') AS total_time2,
FROM $table";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
while($row = $result->fetch_array()){
<td><?php echo $row['time_in']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['time_out']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['total_time1']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['total_time2']; ?></td>
}
I'm displaying everything (including time in, out, totaltime1 and totaltime2) on a large table on it's own page. total_time1
works like I said, but total_time2
displays nothing. No errors or anything. What am I doing wrong here.
