From your explanations, it appears that you have a column with the data type of TIME. I would suggest that you review the table structure (of that column) and specifically, check the default value for that column. Does that column have to be inserted with a record everytime? It seems to me that you are trying to read information in which nothing was stored in that "TIME" column.
As I said, check the default value.

Sorry for the trouble.
I would suggest the following:

Create a new form in your application just for testing this.
Likewise,create a new table in your database.

Put a textbox and a Button1 in your form.
Put a simple code in Button1 that will post just simple text data to your database table. Say, create a code to post just text from a single textbox.
See if this works and come back and give feedback.

I also wonder why php came in here! Why not just from VB.NET to MySQL as G Waddell said?

You can go here:http://www.ehow.com/how_4590003_program-timer-control-vbnet.html to get a start, and you can also Google for that and read. When you start working with the timer and face any problems, I think that is when you should ask here at Daniweb.
Happy programming!
