		<option value=45>45</option>
		</select>&nbsp
		<select name=ampm>
		<option value=am>am</option>
		<option value=pm selected="selected">pm</option>
		</select>
		</td>
	</tr>

with the day, month, year, and time seperated into different variables, now how would i go about combining all of this input into one unix timestamp integer (in seconds) so that i can do math on it... any ideas?

mktime(hour, minute, second, month, day, year);

You can figure the rest.
