Only 2 steps requires for setup and use this calendar component.
Put the javascript file(.js) in the head section or somewhere else but it should be include once in a page.
<head>
<script language="javascript" src="calendar.js"></script>
</head>
Create form element in the html and put the following code
<form action="somewhere.php" method="post">
<?php
require_once('classes/tc_calendar.php');
$myCalendar = new tc_calendar("date1", true);
$myCalendar->setIcon("images/iconCalendar.gif");
$myCalendar->setDate(1, 1, 2000);
$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:
<?php
$theDate = isset($_REQUEST["date1"]) ? $_REQUEST["date1"] : "";

$myCalendar->setDate(1, 1, 2000);
$myCalendar->writeScript();
?>
</form>
