}

function showCurrentLocation(position){
var currentTime = new Date(position.timestamp)
var hours = currentTime.getHours()
var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes()
if (minutes < 10){
minutes = "0" + minutes
}
var seconds = currentTime.getSeconds()
if (seconds < 10){
seconds = "0" + seconds
}
var tim = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
document.getElementById("mylocation").innerHTML = "Current Latitude : " + position.coords.latitude + "<br /> Longitude : " + position.coords.longitude + "<br> Time: " + tim;

var data = { 'latitude': position.coords.latitude , 'longitude': position.coords.longitude, 'time': position.timestamp };

The part that pushes it to your database is:

$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'post.php',
data: data
});[/CODE]

changing it into:

[CODE]
function everymin() {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'post.php',
data: data
});
}
setInterval( "everymin()", 1*60*1000 );[/CODE]

Should make it only store once a minute in the database.

Thank you for your quick resonce will it still carrie the variables from one function to another?

It will do exactly the same as before it only stores every 60sec now ^^
