It matters on how you want to call the date using php from Mysql, if i do understand what you are asking for.
For example acquiring a unix timestamp that represents the current date and time,
In php, use time()
in MySQL use UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
You could format the date using in PHP use date(), IN MYSQL, use DATE_FORMAT()
If you are interested in all the ways to do that then i can't give you a definite answer as to how "how many ways"
