Answer 1

You can go like this:

HTML:

 <form method="post">
 ...........

 <select name="datetime">
   <option value="12 Jan 2009">12 Jan 2009</option>
   <!-- more options if you want ->
   ..................
   ..................
 </select>

PHP:

$datetime = $_POST['datetime'];
// convert string to date
$your_date = strtotime($datetime);

Now $your_date contains your date from dropdown you can manipulate any way you want :)
