i have a google calendar integration with php, the problem that im having is that the events are getting inserted in the google calendar, however when an event is after 12m it gets inserted as am when i need it to be PM.

here is the array with the info that im sending:

  array(7) {

  ["summary"]=>

  string(12) "Cita MEDICA"

  ["location"]=>

  string(50) "MEDIA - Cra. 349b #825 - 40, Someplace, Around"

  ["description"]=>

  string(21) "Estudio existente"

  ["start"]=>

  array(2) {

    ["dateTime"]=>

    string(18) "2021-05-29T3:00:00"

    ["timeZone"]=>

    string(14) "America/Bogota"

  }

  ["end"]=>

  array(2) {

    ["dateTime"]=>

    string(19) "2021-05-29T03:30:00"

    ["timeZone"]=>

    string(14) "America/Bogota"

  }

  ["attendees"]=>

  array(1) {

    [0]=>

    array(1) {

      ["email"]=>

      string(16) "[email protected]"

    }

  }

  ["reminders"]=>

  array(2) {

    ["useDefault"]=>

    bool(false)

    ["overrides"]=>

    array(2) {

      [0]=>

      array(2) {

        ["method"]=>

        string(5) "email"

        ["minutes"]=>

        int(60)

      }

      [1]=>

      array(2) {

        ["method"]=>

        string(5) "popup"

        ["minutes"]=>

        int(10)

      }

    }

  }

}

When i see the example in the google calendar site:

  'start' => array(

    'dateTime' => '2015-05-28T09:00:00-07:00',

    'timeZone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',

  ),

  'end' => array(

    'dateTime' => '2015-05-28T17:00:00-07:00',

    'timeZone' => 'America/Los_Angeles',

  ),

te dateTime format is different, i dont understand why -> 17:00:00-07:00 seems to have two parameters.

can someone explain it to me?
thanks!

My Answer:
start] => "2021-10-15T13:00:00",_ [end] => "2021-10-15T14:00:00",_ [summary] => "Meeting with client",_ [description] => "Discuss project details",_ [location] => "123 Main St",_ [timezone] => "America/New_York",_ [calendar_id] => "primary"_}_The issue you are facing is likely due to the format of the time you are sending to the Google Calendar API. In the example array you provided, the start and end times are in the format "2021-10-15T13:00:00" and "2021-10-15T14:00:00", respectively. This format uses the 24-hour clock, where 13:00 is equivalent to 1:00 PM._To ensure that the events are inserted correctly as PM, you can specify the time in the 12-hour clock format with the "am/pm" indicator. For example, you can change the start and end times in the array to:_ [start] => "2021-10-15T01:00:00 PM",_ [end] => "2021-10-15T02:00:00 PM",_By specifying the time in this format, Google Calendar will recognize it as PM and display it correctly in the calendar. Make sure to adjust the time format in your code before sending the event data to the Google Calendar API.
