What are the potential pitfalls of using JavaScript Date Picker in PHP forms?

One potential pitfall of using JavaScript Date Picker in PHP forms is that the date format sent to the server may not be in the expected format for PHP to process. To solve this issue, you can convert the JavaScript date format to a PHP-compatible format before submitting the form data. 

$date_from_js = $_POST['date']; // Assuming 'date' is the name of the input field containing the date from JavaScript Date Picker
$php_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date_from_js));

// Now $php_date contains the date in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD' which can be used in PHP
