Optimising a haversine formula SQL call in PHP

I'm creating an MySQL call using PHP, I'm calculating distance using the haversine forumula:

SELECT name, id,
   (6371 * acos(cos(radians(' . $lat . ')) 
   * cos(radians(geoname.latitude)) 
   * cos(radians(geoname.longitude) - radians(' . $lon . ')) 
   + sin(radians(' . $lat . ')) 
   * sin(radians(geoname.latitude)))) AS distance 

My question is; is it best to do all this calculation in SQL? This query searches a table with around 1000 records. Would it be more efficient to do some of the math in PHP rather than SQL? Is there a better way to optimise this query?
