What does this time your users are entering actually represent? If
it's what time they woke up that day then I guess they'll have to
enter it and you'll need to validate the data before accepting it, but
if it's the time the form was submitted, why leave that to the user to
enter? Just insert the time in your form handler.

If that approach meets your needs, then define...

$the_time = date("H:i:s",time());

in your PHP script then let the form handler insert $the_time into
your MySQL table along with the rest of the form data.
