Invalid date and time value for str_to_date function

Question

I do not see what is wrong with this:

mysql> select str_to_date('3/8/2010 12:31:00 AM', '%c/%e/%Y %k:%i:%s %p');
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| str_to_date('3/8/2010 12:31:00 AM', '%c/%e/%Y %k:%i:%s %p') |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| NULL                                                        |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> show warnings;

Answer 1

%k:%i:%s %p

%k- 24-hour mode, does not work with %p(AM / PM). Use %l.

Answer 2

Try:

mysql> select str_to_date('3/8/2010 12:31:00 AM', '%m/%d/%Y %h:%i:%s %k');
