</head>

Create form element in the html and put the following code

<form action="somewhere.php" method="post">
<?php
//get class into the page
require_once('classes/tc_calendar.php');

//instantiate class and set properties
$myCalendar = new tc_calendar("date1", true);
$myCalendar->setIcon("images/iconCalendar.gif");
$myCalendar->setDate(1, 1, 2000);

//output the calendar
$myCalendar->writeScript();	  
?>
</form>
            

How to get the value?

To get the date selected in calendar by php after submit the form, simple write script as the following:

$myCalendar->setIcon("images/iconCalendar.gif");
$myCalendar->setDate(1, 1, 2000);

//output the calendar
$myCalendar->writeScript();	  
?>
</form>


//use javascript to get the value
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function showDateSelected(){
   alert("Date selected is "+document.form1.date1.value);
