This could be used, for example, for the quiz time limit.

Proposed design:

Time limit: [_______] [ Minutes |v]

That is, a text box to type a number into, with a unit dropdown.

The text box will accept fractional numbers, so you can enter 1.5 hours.

The value returned to PHP is always in seconds.

When the form is displayed, the time will be converted to the highest unit that does not cause a fraction, so
3600 -> 1 hour
5400 -> 90 minutes
5401 -> 5401 seconds
etc.
