Question

Either you can send the javascript date to php via query string:

var mydate = encodeURIComponent('Wed Jun 09 2010');
document.location.href = 'page.php?date=' + mydate;

PHP

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime(urldecode($_GET['date'])));

Or though a hidden field:

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime(urldecode($_POST['date'])));
