restrict future dates in HTML input using only PHP

Question

I want to restrict date input in my form. I'm using PHP and HTML to code.

<?php
echo '<input type="date" name="doc" value="' . date("d-m-Y") . '" min="11-05-2014" max="' . date("d-m-Y") . '"/>';
?>

I've tried this post. It has a solution using jQuery, but I don't want to use jQuery.

if you want some checking server side (which is important btw), just process the form like you normally do, get the input, convert it to unix time stamp and compare it to `time()`, a simple `if` should suffice, the rest of the business logic is up to you — Kevin, Jun 04 '18 at 07:28
You can of course reject the chosen date once its been submitted to server—but there's no way to prevent user from choosing it in the first place. PHP is a server-side technology, it doesn't even run on the same computer as the HTML code. — Álvaro González, Jun 04 '18 at 08:31
