Secure communication between Flash and PHP script

Question

I have little knowledge of Flash but for a little Flash game I have to store score and successful tries of users in a database using PHP. Now the Flash runs locally on the users computer and connects to a remote server. How can I secure against manipulation of game scores. Is there any best practice for this use case?
