<body>
<?php
$DBConnect = @mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
if (!$DBConnect)
  {die("<p>The database server is not available</p>");
  }
  
  $dbselect = @mysql_select_db("hairsalon");
  
  if (!$dbselect){
  die("<p>The database is not available</p>");
  }

$inp = $_POST['date']; // Get the textbox that holds the date
$table_name='bookings'; // Set the name of your table 
$col_name = 'booking_date'; // Set the column that will hold the dates 

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) 
    { 
    $sQuery = "INSERT INTO $table_name($col_name) VALUES ('mysql_real_escape_string($inp)')"; // Insert query 
    mysql_query($sQuery) or die(mysql_error()); // Do the query 
    } 
	
 
?> 

<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> 
<script>DateInput('date', true, 'YYYY-MM-DD')</script> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> 
</form> 

</body>
</html>

when i try to submit the date into the database it enters 0000-00-00, I think there is something wrong with my date format but dont know what.

I have changed the "defaultdateformat" into calendar.js file aswel,Dont know what other changed I am suppose to make.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hey, I have found a nice little code which solved my problem, Hope its helpful to people out there who are having similar problems

Fist of all dont make any changes to your date format leave it as it is.

Then after your insert query add

//This function encodes will change any type of date and format it to (YYYY-mm-dd) and will store the date into mysql table
function encodeDate ($inp) {
$tab = explode ("-", $inp);
$r = $tab[2]."-".$tab[1]."-".$tab[0];
return $r;
}

My script works now

YAY ME!!!
