(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-10-20)

I've having an issue where a Date/Time field (time only) is outputting the time in the front-end template with an extra 10 minutes.

In my template I'm using `entry.startTime|date("g:ma”)`.

In the DB the `field_startTime` for the entry is `2016-10-15 16:00:00`, but on the front-end I’m seeing 4:10pm.

Could anyone tell me where are these extra 10 minutes coming from, please?

This is happening both locally and on the dev server, using Craft CMS 2.6.2949

[You are using the wrong variables](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php).

The `10` is there because it means `October` not `10 minutes`.

You have to use `| date("g:ia”)`.
