Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can also do this using Carbon library:

Carbon::yesterday()->format('d.m.Y');         // '26.03.2019'

In other formats:

Carbon::yesterday()->toDateString();          // '2019-03-26'
Carbon::yesterday()->toDateTimeString();      // '2019-03-26 00:00:00'

Carbon::yesterday()->toFormattedDateString(); // 'Mar 26, 2019'
Carbon::yesterday()->toDayDateTimeString();   // 'Tue, Mar 26, 2019 12:00 AM'
