Does anyone know how to pass a given variable instead the Carbon's default parameters ? The documentation of Carbon says: // CARBON SAMPLE $dtToronto = Carbon::createFromDate(2012, 1, 1, 'America/Toronto'); $dtVancouver = Carbon::createFromDate(2012, 1, 1, 'America/Vancouver'); echo $dtVancouver->diffInHours($dtToronto); // 3 And i want to do something like this in my controller: // EXAMPLE $date = "2016-09-16 11:00:00"; $datework = Carbon::createFromDate($date); $now = Carbon::now(); $testdate = $datework->diffInDays($now); And retrieving that on a Blade template // VIEW ON BLADE <td> {{

I'm trying to figure out how I can take two date time strings that are stored in our database and convert it to a difference in time format of hh:mm:ss. I looked at diffForHumans , but that does give the format I'd like and returns things like after , ago , etc; which is useful, but not for what I'm trying to do. The duration will never span days, only a max of a couple hours. $startTime = Carbon::parse($this->start_time); $finishTime = Carbon::parse($this->finish_time); $totalDuration = $finishTime->diffForHumans($startTime); dd($totalDuration); // Have: "21 seconds after" // Want: 00:00:21 I

In my model I have the following: protected $dates = [ 'start', 'end', 'created_at', 'updated_at' ]; I am using a datetime picker to insert the start and end dates, in this format: 2016-01-23 22:00 Without the seconds. When I do it like this, I get this error: InvalidArgumentException in Carbon.php line 425: Data missing at Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2016-01-23 22:00') in Model.php line 3015 If I do include the seconds, it works. The seconds are not important to me, and I do not want to include them in my datetime picker fields. Any way around this so I can still use those fields

How can I get all dates between two dates in PHP? Prefer using Carbon for dates. $from = Carbon::now(); $to = Carbon::createFromDate(2017, 5, 21); I wanna have all dates between those two dates.. But how? Can only found solutions using strtotime function. As of Carbon 1.29 it is possible to do: $period = CarbonPeriod::create('2018-06-14', '2018-06-20'); // Iterate over the period foreach ($period as $date) { echo $date->format('Y-m-d'); } // Convert the period to an array of dates $dates = $period->toArray(); See documentation for more details: https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/#api-period .

I have two timestamps, edited_at which I created and created_at (Laravel's)... In database, both have type timestamp and default value 0000-00-00 00:00:00... But var_dump(edited_at variable) is giving string. While var_dump(created_at variable) is object/Carbon. What is wrong with these timestamps? I have to compare both after converting into integer using format('U'). I can only call this method on Carbon Object. How can I do that? First, Eloquent automatically converts it's timestamps ( created_at , updated_at ) into carbon objects. You could just use updated_at to get that nice feature, or
