MySQL speed question (12, permasaged)

I was wondering, when you have a large set of data in a MySQL table, is it faster to find the data you want with MySQL's Select function, or by dumping the whole table into a PHP array and searching through that?

Basically, which works faster with lots of data, PHP or MySQL?

MySQL.

This is why database people hate PHP programmers.
