I need to let the users pick a date (preferable in the format dd/mm/yy) and I decide to try out new HTML5 input date type. However I don't know how to interpret the value it gives on the server side. The value I get is yyyy-mm-dd. How can I do this?
What if the user uses an older browser that does not support it, how will they enter the date?

$d=mktime(11, 14, 54, 8, 12, 2014); echo "Created date is " . date("Y-m-d h:i:sa", $d);
The max attribute specifies the maximum value (date) for a date field. Tip: Use the max attribute together with the min attribute to create a range of legal values. Tip: To set or return the value of the min attribute, use the min property.
To set and get the input type date in dd-mm-yyyy format we will use <input> type attribute. The <input> type attribute is used to define a date picker or control field. In this attribute, you can set the range from which day-month-year to which day-month-year date can be selected from.
Just convert the date using PHP's date functionality (date(), DateTime, etc)
$datetime = new DateTime('2012-12-06');
$new_date = $datetime->format('d/m/Y');
They will see a plain text field. It will be up to you to make sure they enter a validate date.
