Well the good news is you don't need 3600. There are only 1440 minutes
in a day.

A loop is the answer

<?php
echo"<select name='select'>\n";
// put the selected variable here, could come from a db or could be the
// POSTed value. e.g
// $var=(isset($_POST['select']))?"$_POST['select']":0;
//I'll put $var=50 to test it.

$var=50;
for($i=0;$i<1440;$i++){
$selected=($var==$i)?" selected":"";
echo "<option value='$i'$selected>".date("H:i",$i*60)."</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";
?>
