3 drop down menus - creating a timestamp from time values in the menus???

[PC Nerd]

Hi,

 

Ive got the following code, and its meant to display the possilbe days hours and minutes within 2 months, and then place it into a timstamp for storage in the database.  Im also looking for a way to get the timestamp and turn it back into the 3 menus, using the <option... selected> values.

CREATE THE ARRAYS FOR THE DROP DOWN MENUS

$Days = array();
$Hours = array();
$Minutes = array();


for($i=time();$i< strtotime('+2 months');$i += 86400) {
$day = date("d/m/y - l", $i);
$Days[$i] = $day;
}

for($i = 0; $i < 24;$i++) {
$hour = $i * 60 * 60;
$Hours[$i] = $hour;
}

for ($i = 0; $i < 60; $i++) {
$Minutes[$i] = $i*60;
}

 

 

DROP DOWN MENUS

Start Date: <select name = 'Start_date_day'><?php foreach($Days as $field => $value) { echo "<option value = '".$field."'>".$value."</option>\n";} ?></select>

      Hour: <select name = 'Start_date_hour'><?php foreach($Hours as $field => $value) { echo "\t<option value = '".$value."'>".$field."</option>\n";} ?></select>

      Minutes: <select name = 'Start_date_minute'><?php foreach($Minutes as $field => $value) { echo "\t<option value = '".$value."'>".$field."</option>\n";} ?></select>

<br><br>

Finish date: <select name = 'Finish_date_day'><?php foreach($Days as $field => $value) { echo "<option value = '".$field."'>".$value."</option>\n";} ?></select>

      Hour: <select name = 'Finish_date_hour'><?php foreach($Hours as $field => $value) { echo "\t<option value = '".$value."'>".$field."</option>\n";} ?></select>

      Minutes: <select name = 'Finish_date_minute'><?php foreach($Minutes as $field => $value) { echo "\t<option value = '".$value."'>".$field."</option>\n";} ?></select>

<br><br>

 

Can Anyone tell me how i am meant to creat the timestamps form these values?  at the moment im simply adding the three values together - ie $days + hours + minutes..... but thats on the form handling page.

 

 

Thanks,
