Well, I don't know if this a bug or a feature...

Do you see a reason for this :

all consumer products (watches...) displays time of the day with AM until 12:59 and PM after that (01:00 PM), but the date("a", timestamp) finction displays "am" until 11:59 and pm after that ?

FYI my wristwatch currently claims it's 12:24 PM - that's 24 minutes after Noon.

I think PHP's behavior is correct.

As long as I've known, PM starts at 12:01

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Well, sorry for this bug report, it appears that this is consumer products I use which have a bug.

Not bug -> bogus.
