Displaying 2 digit minutes/seconds

[sono-io@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

	I'm using this code to display the current time for our location on  
our website:

<?php
	date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
        $theTimeIs = getdate(time());
            $theHour = $theTimeIs['hours'];
            $theMinute = $theTimeIs['minutes'];  // make minutes  
under 10 show two digits
            $theSecond = $theTimeIs['seconds'];
        if($theHour > 12){
            $theHour = $theHour - 12;
            $dn = "PM";
        } else {
            $dn = "AM";
        }

echo "$theHour:$theMinute:$theSecond $dn";
?>

	It works great except for one small detail.  If the time is 3:04:02,  
it is displayed as 3:4:2 which, of course, is very odd looking.  So I  
corrected it as follows:

<?php
	date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
        $theTimeIs = getdate(time());
            $theHour = $theTimeIs['hours'];
            if (strlen ($theTimeIs['minutes']) < 2) {
				$theMinute = "0" . $theTimeIs['minutes'];
				} else {
				$theMinute = $theTimeIs['minutes'];
				}
            if (strlen ($theTimeIs['seconds']) < 2) {
				$theSecond = "0" . $theTimeIs['seconds'];
				} else {
				$theSecond = $theTimeIs['seconds'];
				}
        if($theHour > 12){
            $theHour = $theHour - 12;
            $dn = "PM";
        } else {
            $dn = "AM";
        }

echo "$theHour:$theMinute:$theSecond $dn";
?>

	It works, but is there a better way to do it?

Thanks,
Frank
