The answer is "yes," of course you CAN do it, it's just a matter of
doing it, really.  It seems like you know what needs to be done, and
anything you're asking whether or not it CAN be done can be done, so I'm
really curious as to what your question is.

If it's a matter of "how," well, that's really up to you.  There's more
than one way to do anything.  Some people have a "best" way of doing
things for themselves; you just have to figure out what that is.  Me,
I'd store all values based on the smallest unit possible, and the of
course, you'd use PHP to print out whatever you can.  The possibilities
are endless, so asking us how you should go about doing things really
isn't going to help.  Because like I said, it's up to you.  :)
