I have found that by far the easiest way to store dates in my LAMP  
application is in a text string in the database in Unixtime format. 
 
First of all, what would be the most efficient data type to store this as? 
 
Secondly, in terms of translating into a human readable format, is it  
quicker to format the date in the application using date() or in the  
database in the select query? 
 
Any thoughts?
