googlecharts php postgresql timestamp format datetime axis cleaner


I got my application barebones up and running, but the date formatting on the bottom axis is horrible. https://s28.postimg.org/fts5h6fel/app.jpg

here is my goal for the bottom axis formatting: https://s28.postimg.org/57qwu5y3x/app2.jpg

is there a way to use the timestamp from postgresql as a datetime in googlecharts?

currently my script imports the timestamp field as string or it does not work at all.

postgresql db table: CREATE TABLE stats(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, spo INTEGER NOT NULL, hr INTEGER NOT NULL, spt timestamp NOT NULL);

example data: patient=# SELECT * FROM stats LIMIT 100; id | spo | hr | spt -----+-----+----+---------------------------- 1 | 97 | 80 | 2017-01-01 22:39:48.606672 2 | 96 | 79 | 2017-01-01 22:39:49.60654 3 | 97 | 79 | 2017-01-01 22:39:50.606504 4 | 96 | 79 | 2017-01-01 22:39:51.60639 5 | 96 | 76 | 2017-01-01 22:39:52.606374 6 | 96 | 74 | 2017-01-01 22:39:53.606271 7 | 96 | 72 | 2017-01-01 22:39:54.606251 8 | 96 | 71 | 2017-01-01 22:39:55.606124 9 | 97 | 70 | 2017-01-01 22:39:56.606061 10 | 97 | 69 | 2017-01-01 22:39:57.606012

here is my current webpage:

<?php
    $con = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=patient user=spo password=secretpass") or die("db connection failed!");
    $sth = pg_query($con, "select spt,spo,hr from stats");
    $table = array();
    $table[] = ["spt", "spo", "hr"];
    while($r = pg_fetch_assoc($sth)) {
        $table[] = [(string) $r['spt'], (int) $r['spo'], (int) $r['hr']];
    }
    $jsonTable = json_encode($table);
    echo $jsonTable;
?>

            };
            var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('curve_chart'));
            chart.draw(data, options);

    got it working: https://s28.postimg.org/6hwya5925/done.jpg

    I ended up using unix timestamps in the DB and used that as the primary key as well, anywhere that i needed to modify the timestamp I used string manipulation when necessary.

    new postgresql database details:

    CREATE TABLE stats(utc INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, spo INTEGER NOT NULL, hr INTEGER NOT NULL);
    
    patient=# SELECT * FROM stats LIMIT 10;
        utc     | spo | hr
    ------------+-----+----
     1464499543 |  89 | 63
     1464499544 |  89 | 64
     1464499545 |  89 | 65
     1464499546 |  89 | 65
     1464499547 |  89 | 66
     1464499548 |  89 | 65
     1464499549 |  89 | 65
     1464499550 |  89 | 65
     1464499551 |  89 | 65
     1464499552 |  89 | 65
