How to get "AM/PM" in data read from a form input (type=time)?

I have this code:

<input class="meting" name="meetingtime" value="<?php echo $_POST['meetingtime'] ?>" type="time"/>

<?php
    $time = $_POST['meetingtime'];
    echo $time; // the output of this is only the numbers
?>

How can I get the AM/PM values in PHP?

    PHP has a build in function to do that.

    $time = $_POST['meetingtime'];
echo date("g:i a", $time);
// 10:22 AM

    Fatal error?

    If you get a fatal error try adding strtotime() to the time.

    Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: date(): Argument #2 ($timestamp) must be of type ?int...

    $time = $_POST['meetingtime'];
echo date("g:i a", strtotime($time));
// 10:22 AM
