Really good question. I didn't know the answer off the top of my head.

Anyway, try something like this:

JavaScript

var start_date = document.getElementById('startdatectrl').valueAsDate;
var end_date = document.getElementById('enddatectrl').valueAsDate;

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "php/getyourdates.php",
    data: { startdate: start_date, enddate: end_date }
})
.done(function (msg) {
    //msg is php response by echo
});

Note that you will need to give your date controls id's.
Also, I recommend using POST because it is more secure and flexible (in terms of the data it can send).
