How to save time in database in timeformat in Laravel 5? - laravel-5

Question

I have been trying for a while for saving time in my database in timeformat like 10:00:00.
What I want is simply pick up time from timepicker and save data(time) in timeformat.
Here is what I have done:
I have used timepicker as it gets data in format 10:52 AM.
I have used accessor methods to save time as follows:
public function setRTimeAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['r_time'] = date('h:i:A', strtotime($value));
}
My post controller in case needed as follows:
public function postSessionReservation(Request $request,$profile_slug)
{
$restaurant = Restaurant::where('slug_profile', $profile_slug)->select('name','ar_name','slug_profile','id')->firstOrFail();
$this->validate($request,[
'no_of_seats'=>'required',
'r_date'=>'required',
'r_time'=>'required',
'restaurant_id'=>'required',
]);
$data = [
'no_of_seats'=>$request->no_of_seats,
'r_date'=>$request->r_date,
'r_time'=>$request->r_time,
'restaurant_id'=>$request->restaurant_id
];
$minutes = 1;
Session::put('reservation',json_encode($data),$minutes);
return redirect($restaurant->slug_profile.'/complete-reservation');
}
But it saves the time as 12:00:00 each time.
I do not know how 12:00:00 is generated whenever I save the time. I tried a lot but could not figure out.
Hope you guys will help me solve this.
Thanks in advance.

First remove spaces between time "10 : 52 AM" to "10:52 AM" and then change your line to this:
$this->attributes['r_time'] = date('H:i', strtotime( $value ));
This will surely help, I already tested it.
For example you can remove spaces through:
$a = '10 : 52 PM';
$x = preg_replace('/\s*:\s*/', ':', $a);
date("H:i", strtotime($x));
