Carbon object to Unix timestamp based on timezone

I have a datetime string of format 'Y-m-d H:i:s', and datetime value as '2018-01-30 07:11:21'.

$carbon_obj = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s' , '2018-01-30 07:11:21','America/Chicago');

How do it get the Unix timestamp from this carbon object?

Solution

  • just add timestamp at the back of your code.

    $carbon_obj = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s' , '2018-01-30 07:11:21','America/Chicago')->timestamp;

    or

    $carbon_obj = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s' , '2018-01-30 07:11:21','America/Chicago');
$carbon_obj->timestamp;

    If you have data missing error. missing it is the data your passed it not a complete date format.

    Try this.

    $timestp = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', Carbon::parse($trans['transaction_datetime']) ,Setting::get('timezone'))->timestamp;
