date or mktime am and pm

[bajer]

I have a time in my database (variable $stime) saved as 11:54:00

echo "$stime<BR>";
$newtime = date('g:i A',$stime);
echo "$newtime<BR>";
echo "$stime<BR>";

I get:

11:54:00 (acutal time from database)
7:00 PM (variable $newtime)

If i use mktime; Time all the time changes...
Could some one help me convert that
to 11:54 AM

Thanks

$newtime = date("g:i A", strtotime($stime));
