# {html_select_time}
`{html_select_time}` is a [custom function](index.md)
that creates time dropdowns for you. It can display any or all of: hour,
minute, second and meridian.
The `time` attribute can have different formats. It can be a unique
timestamp, a string of the format `YYYYMMDDHHMMSS` or a string that is
parseable by PHP's [`strtotime()`](https://www.php.net/strtotime).
