Laravel search for records 7 days old only

Question

i am trying to pull records that are 7 days old only , not older or earlier. But its not working, i'm using Carbon.

->where(DB::raw('date(AppDate)'), Carbon::now()->subDays(7))

Answer 1

I have a solution, but its not using Carbon.

 ->whereRaw('DATE(AppDate) = DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)')

Answer 2

You can use whereDate for that :

->whereDate('created_at', Carbon::now()->subDays(7))
->get();

In the documentation :

The whereDate method may be used to compare a column's value against a date

PS : Since Laravel 5.3

Answer 3

To sum my last 7 days of records:

$date = \Carbon\Carbon::today()->subDays(7);

$Profitinsevendays = DB::table('n_profit_loss')->where('datetime', '>=', $date)->sum('profit_or_loss');
