change the date format in laravel view page

Question

I want to change the date format which is fetched from database. now I got 2016-10-01{{$user->from_date}} .I want to change the format \'d-m-y\' in laravel

Answer 1

Method One:

Using the strtotime() to time is the best format to change the date to the given format.

strtotime() - Parse about any English textual datetime description into a Unix timestamp

The function expects to be given a string containing an English date format and will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC), relative to the timestamp given in now, or the current time if now is not supplied.

Example:

Output:

2007-02-26

Method Two:

date_format() - Return a new DateTime object, and then format the date:

Output:

 2013/03/15 00:00:00
