You may want to try this forms generation and validation class. It comes
with a calendar date plug-in that does exactly what you want.
It lets you choose a date using several text or select fields and it can
validate the date that you choose using special Javascript code
generated by the plug-in. If you want, it can also restrict the range
of accepted dates, like since a given date or no later than another date.
The plug-in class validates either on the client side with Javascript or
server side with PHP. You do not need to know any Javascript to use this.
