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

Sometimes changing the date format doesn't work properly, especially in Laravel. So in that case, it's better to use:

$date1 = strtr($_REQUEST['date'], '/', '-');
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date1));

Then you can avoid error like "1970-01-01"!
