How can compatibility issues with specific HTML input types like <input type="date" /> be addressed in PHP web development?

When dealing with compatibility issues with specific HTML input types like <input type="date" />, one way to address this in PHP web development is to use the $_POST superglobal array to retrieve the date value from the form submission and then format it into a suitable format for storage or manipulation in the backend. 

$date = $_POST[&#039;date&#039;];
$formatted_date = date(&#039;Y-m-d&#039;, strtotime($date));
// Now $formatted_date contains the date value in a format that can be used in PHP
