Get day from date Laravel

Question

I got a date with format 'Y-m-d', and want to get the day from it. Like if I have 2021.01.01, I want for example Friday, or Thursday depending on what day it actually is. I already got the date stored as $date and I want the day stored as $day.

I've already tried this, without any error, and without anything happening:

$day = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date)->format('1');
var_dump($day);

Answer 1

I've found another solution for you :

$timestamp = strtotime('2009-10-22');
$day = date('l', $timestamp);
echo $days;

output:

Thursday
