I am just curious on some recommendations for the best format to store time in a table for later date comparison.

 

I was thinking time() is probably the best method as it store in epoch seconds I believe, and that can be formatted with date() easily, but I also heard this is not always accurate.

 

Please tell me any recommendations on this!

And suggestions or ideas on this?
