How can PHP and JavaScript be effectively integrated to handle date calculations in a web application?

To handle date calculations in a web application, PHP can be used for server-side calculations and JavaScript can be used for client-side interactions. PHP can be used to perform complex date calculations and formatting on the server before sending the data to the client. JavaScript can then be used to handle any dynamic date-related interactions on the client side, such as updating dates in real-time or displaying countdowns. 

<?php
// Get the current date in PHP
$currentDate = date("Y-m-d");

// Pass the current date to JavaScript for further calculations
echo "<script>var currentDate = '$currentDate';</script>";
?>
