Question : How do I add a lap time to a Mysql database in a flash game using PHP

I am developing a flash racing game and wish to add fasted time to a highest score board however i am having difficulty in adding the time in sec, min, millsecs to a database.

The game is developed using AS2 and the script sending the time to the database is below. The script at this stage does send rounded numbers but not time.

Hope sombody can help.

Answer : How do I add a lap time to a Mysql database in a flash game using PHP

It'd make life much easier if you just dealt with it in milliseconds, and only convert it to the time format when you need to display it to the user. There are loads of scripts for doing the converting ready for you to use:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&ei=sdiMSe6NMomt-gacv-mdCw&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&q=actionscript+2+milliseconds+to+time&spell=1

If the MySQL can't be changed, then you'll need to find out exactly what format it wants, as there's a little choice:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-types.html

Once you know what it's expecting, then use the conversion scripts above to get it ready to be sent.
