How to read value from daterangepicker?

Question

I have this daterangepicker runs on my local PHP site. Here is the code for HTML part

<form role="form" class="form-inline" method="post" action="">

    <div id="reportrange" class="form-control">
         <i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>
         <span></span> 
         <b class="caret"></b>
    </div>

    <button class="btn btn-white" type="submit">Search</button>

</form>

Javascript part:

$('input[name="daterange"]').daterangepicker();

    $('#reportrange span').html(moment().subtract(29, 'days').format('MMMM D, YYYY') + ' - ' + moment().format('MMMM D, YYYY'));

    $('#reportrange').daterangepicker({
        autoApply: true,
        format: 'MM/DD/YYYY',
        startDate: moment().subtract(29, 'days'),
        endDate: moment(),
        minDate: '01/01/2012',
        maxDate: '12/31/2015',
        dateLimit: { days: 60 },
        showDropdowns: true,
        showWeekNumbers: true,
        timePicker: false,
        timePickerIncrement: 1,
        timePicker12Hour: true,
        ranges: {
            'Today': [moment(), moment()],
            'Yesterday': [moment().subtract(1, 'days'), moment().subtract(1, 'days')],
            'Last 7 Days': [moment().subtract(6, 'days'), moment()],
            'Last 30 Days': [moment().subtract(29, 'days'), moment()],
            'This Month': [moment().startOf('month'), moment().endOf('month')],
            'Last Month': [moment().subtract(1, 'month').startOf('month'), moment().subtract(1, 'month').endOf('month')]
        },
        opens: 'right',
        drops: 'down',
        buttonClasses: ['btn', 'btn-sm'],
        applyClass: 'btn-primary',
        cancelClass: 'btn-default',
        separator: ' to ',
        locale: {
            applyLabel: 'Submit',
            cancelLabel: 'Cancel',
            fromLabel: 'From',
            toLabel: 'To',
            customRangeLabel: 'Custom',
            daysOfWeek: ['Su', 'Mo', 'Tu', 'We', 'Th', 'Fr','Sa'],
            monthNames: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'],
            firstDay: 1
        }
    }, function(start, end, label) {
            console.log(start.toISOString(), end.toISOString(), label);
            $('#reportrange span').html(start.format('MMMM D, YYYY') + ' - ' + end.format('MMMM D, YYYY'));
    });

I can select the date well, But no readable value on submit. Already follow this suggestion getting the value of daterangepicker but still no luck. Any helps is appreciated. Thanks.

The daterangepicker library will dynamically create an <input> tag with name="daterange". So, when you submit your form, the daterange form variable should contain the value you want. It will be formatted something like this:

01/15/2015 - 02/15/2015

If that is not a format that you want, you could create two hidden input fields (one for start date and one for end date) and set their values whenever your date range is changed.

<input type="hidden" name="start">
<input type="hidden" name="end">

$('#reportrange').data('daterangepicker').startDate;
$('#reportrange').data('daterangepicker').endDate;

This question solves it all.In my case the answer was not working because I was accessing the value before Declaring a date range picker. getting the value of daterangepicker bootstrap

You may use default php function explode() and it will return array with 2 elements

        $daterange = $_POST['date_range'];
        $split = explode('-', $daterange);

        #check make sure have 2 elements in array
        $count = count($split);
        if($count <> 2){
          #invalid data
        }

        $start = $split[0];
        $end = $split[1];
