Coverting TO UNIX timestamp

Hi! I found several resources describing how to convert the UNIX timestamp to
a readable date, however I need to convert a date into a UNIX timestamp.
For instance, I'm writing a program that will be querying an Oracle
database, and I need to select data that falls between a certain date. All
the dates are stored as UNIX timestamps. So, I need a way to convert a date -
like April 1st, 2005 - to the unix timestamp... I thought to use the date()
function to break it down, but I'm not quite sure how to do the conversion....

Anyone else know?

Thanks!

All, What do you recommend as the best type of field for a timestamp in a MySQL database? I've considered varchar(10) or INT but I'm not sure what is the best, most efficient, and most reliable field type. Thanks. - JP

So, I'm recording the timestamp from some unix files. Any opinions as to whether it's best to use a "bigint" (which matches the file system data) or a "timestamp" (which might be easier to manipulate in the database)? TIA! Mark --
