I want to construct a time period, i.e. say a user has 1 month, 3 days and 10 hours to do something. I want to store this information in a database, and instead of storing this information in 3 fields, I want to store it in one. I have 3 select boxes, one for Month, Days, and Hours, and I'm using "before_save" to convert the selected value into seconds.
However, when I retrieve the information from the database what would be the best way to retrieve the Month, Days and Hours information again?
Thanks in advance.
