I think PHP is a server side language. It does not have any UI so that user could pick date. You have to use javascript libraries like jquery.

Dates are so much part of everyday life that it becomes easy to work with them without thinking. PHP also provides powerful tools for date arithmetic that make manipulating dates easy.
