Answer 1

In Laravel you can add a function inside app/Helper/helper.php like

function formatDate($date = '', $format = 'Y-m-d'){
    if($date == '' || $date == null)
        return;

    return date($format,strtotime($date));
}

And call this function on any controller like this

$start_date = formatDate($start_date,'Y-m-d');

Hope it helps!
