i'm storing as integers now in the database.
getting the unix time in seconds using the mktime() method.
now i just need to figure out how to display properly.
for example, in the sample below, i'm having a hard time getting the minutes
to show up as minutes. right now, the "m" is displaying the month.
echo date("M-d-Y H:m:s", mktime());
i've read http://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html but i can't seem to get
it to work.
