Thank you,

Whatever format you is most convenient for the user. You can always massage the format internally before putting it in the database.
strtotime? date()?
Thanks,

It entirely depends on the format you get your data in.
The problem is - you're asking the wrong question. The first question should be - "What is the most user-friendly way to get the date?". This answer can easily vary, depending on the rest of your page (and site).
Once you have that, your next question can then be "How do I convert this to a format which is acceptable by the database?".
