How can PHP be used to store and update the last time a player's account was updated with money in a browser game?

To store and update the last time a player's account was updated with money in a browser game using PHP, you can create a database table to store the player's account information including the last update time. When the player's account is updated with money, you can use PHP to update the last update time in the database.

// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "game_database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Update the last update time for the player's account
$player_id = 123; // Player's ID
$current_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$sql = "UPDATE player_accounts SET last_update_time='$current_time' WHERE player_id=$player_id";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Last update time updated successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error updating last update time: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
