PHP Carbon take number of minutes & convert to days

Question

I am trying to convert a number on minutes into number of days using Carbon.

$minutes = 1400;

I want to do something like below (which of course, does not work):

Carbon->minutes($minutes)->days();

I cannot find an example of this. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Not tested, but a quick look at the docs suggests it might be aimed more at DateTime objects than differences in time, so you could do something like this:

$now  = Carbon::now();
$days = $now->diffInDays($now->copy()->addMinutes($minutes));

Answer 2

Maybe CarbonInterval::minutes($minutes)->cascade();?

Will cascade down your value and format it for humans.
