Make an AJAX call when the onSelect is trigged.. Just dummy code you can play with:
$('.selector').datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
$.ajax({
url: "myPHPscript.php?selecteddate=" + dateText,
success: function(){
$(this).addClass("done");
}
});
}
});

I dont know PHP but I give it a try. Create a file that is called myPHPscript.php and use: echo $_GET['selecteddate'];

The selecteddate variable will be passed thru QueryString ditio.net/2008/06/12/php-query-string
Description
You can do this using Ajax. After the Datepicker is closed you can set the Session Variable using a Ajax call.
You can use the DatePicker event onClose if you want to set the variable after the dialog is closed or onSelect after a date is selected. I would prefer the onClose event.
Sample
jQuery
$('.selector').datepicker({
onClose: function(dateText, inst) {
$.post("/backend.php", {"VariableName": dateText});
}
});
PHP (backend.php)
<?php
// set the variable
$_SESSION['VariableName'] = $_POST['VariableName'];
?>
