Answer 1

<select name="time">
<option selected="selected" >timings</option>
<option value="9:00AM - 12:00PM">9:00AM - 12:00PM</option>
<option value="12:00AM - 15:00PM">12:00AM - 15:00PM</option>
</select>
<?php
$value = $_POST["time"]; //what method you are using
?>
or
<select name="time" >
<option selected="selected" >timings</option>
<option value="155">9:00AM - 12:00PM</option>
<option value="244">12:00AM - 15:00PM</option>
</select>
<?php
$value = "";
switch($_POST['time']){
case '155':
$value="9:00AM - 12:00PM";
break;
case '244':
$value = "12:00AM - 15:00PM";
break;
default:
$value = "No data found";
break;
}
?>

You've two options;
Use 12:00AM - 15:00PM inside the value="" parameter.
OR
Do something like this in PHP file for collecting data and inserting it into db;
if ($_POST['time'] == "155")
{
$time = '9:00AM - 12:00PM';
}
elseif ($_POST['time'] == "244")
{
$time = '12:00AM - 15:00PM';
}
// do rest of the data insertion into db
