i would like to add a mysql query somewhere in my timer code so that everytime it restarts then 1 item would be added to the database, i can get it to show how many items you have gotten since the timer has been running, but im not quite sure how to add it into a mysql database, any help would be appreciated :D

heres my timer code thus far:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var c=10;
var mineCount = 0;
var t;
var timer_is_on=0;

function timedCount() {
document.getElementById('txt').value = c;
c = c - 1;
if (c <= -1) {
mineCount++;
var _message = "You have mined " + mineCount + " iron ore" + (((mineCount > 1) ? "s" : "") + "!");
document.getElementById('message').innerHTML = _message;
startover();
}
}

function startover() {
 c = 10;
clearTimeout(t);
timer_is_on=0;
doMining();
}
function doMining() {
if (!timer_is_on) {
    timer_is_on = true;
    t = setInterval(function () {
        timedCount();
    }, 1000);                
}
}

</script> 

<SPAN STYLE="float:left">
<form>
<input type="button" value="Mining" onClick="doMining()">
<input type="text" id="txt">
</form>
</SPAN>
<html>
<center>
<div id='message'></div>
