PHP Carbon get toDay date by formatting date


Simply I can format PHP date such as:

$current_date_time = new DateTime("now");
$user_current_date = $current_date_time->format("Y-m-d");

to get toDay date. how to do this action by using Carbon without time in date?

$now = Carbon::now();
echo $now;    // 2015-11-11 12:38:36

Solution

  • The documentation is a good place to find this sort of thing. There are plenty of examples how to do it

    $dt = Carbon::now()
    
    var_dump($dt->toDateTimeString() == $dt);          // bool(true) => uses     __toString()
    echo $dt->toDateString();                          // 1975-12-25
    echo $dt->toFormattedDateString();                 // Dec 25, 1975
    echo $dt->toTimeString();                          // 14:15:16
    echo $dt->toDateTimeString();                      // 1975-12-25 14:15:16
    echo $dt->toDayDateTimeString();                   // Thu, Dec 25, 1975 2:15 PM
    
    // ... of course format() is still available
    echo $dt->format('l jS \\of F Y h:i:s A');         // Thursday 25th of December 1975 02:15:16 PM
