Are there any alternative methods or libraries that can be used to create date pickers in PHP without relying on JavaScript?

When creating date pickers in PHP without relying on JavaScript, one alternative method is to use HTML forms with dropdown menus for selecting the day, month, and year. By using PHP to process the form submission, you can create a date picker functionality without needing client-side scripting. 

<form method="post">
    <select name="day">
        <?php for ($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++) {
            echo "<option value='$i'>$i</option>";
        } ?>
    </select>
    <select name="month">
        <?php for ($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
            echo "<option value='$i'>$i</option>";
        } ?>
    </select>
    <select name="year">
        <?php for ($i = date("Y"); $i >= 1900; $i--) {
            echo "<option value='$i'>$i</option>";
        } ?>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $day = $_POST["day"];
    $month = $_POST["month"];
    $year = $_POST["year"];
    
    $selected_date = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $day;
    echo "Selected date: " . $selected_date;
}
?>
