Unable to pass values from VF Page to Controller

Hi All,

I am unable to pass the values from VF page to controller for date field.
  
<apex:page docType="html-5.0" controller="Sample">
<apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection>
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
                Date: <apex:input type="date" value="{!dat}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Apex Controller:

public class Sample {
    public Date dat {get;set;}
    public Sample() {
           System.debug('EnteringDate'+dat);
    }
}

NOTE:- You was not able to see Date because you was trying to print in Constructor. Constructor Always execute first at that time date field was blank

Update your code like below 
public class Sample {
    public Date dat {get;set;}
    public Sample() {
           System.debug('EnteringDate'+dat);
    }
    
    public void show()
    {
           System.debug('EnteringDate'+dat);
    }
}
Page 
<apex:page docType="html-5.0" controller="Sample">
<apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection >
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                Date: <apex:input type="date" value="{!dat}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageBlockButtons >
            <apex:commandButton value="show" action="{!show}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockButtons>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Hi Amit,

It didn't work for me. I am still receiving the same null while passing to the action method.

Thank You!
