for the html do
<input type="text" id="deliverydate" />
<input type="hidden" name="formDate" id="actualDate" />

Then the php would be
$date = $_POST['formDate'];

When I used the datepicker I had to make the altFormat: 'y-mm-dd' for
09-01-01 format and altFormat: 'yy-mm-dd' for 2009-01-01 format.
Meaning y=two digit year,  yy=four digit year.  This may not be the
case with different versions of jqueryUI since it doesn't make any
sense.  Just fyi.
