hi jorge,

you may use them in mysql queries. see section 7.4.11 'date and time 
functions' of the mysql manual, there are many examples. you can donwload 
it from http://www.mysql.com/documentation/index.html in several formats 
(one big html file, multiple html files, one per chapter, pdf or 
postscript). you dont't have to do a select from a table if you just want 
to convert unix time to human readable or something like that, but i'd 
prefer using php's date and time functions (see php manual 
http://www.php.net/manual/) for this :)

bye alex
