add records from a particular month

Question

I need to add the records for the month of July.

My code: now I can only add the records of the current month

$cobrosm = Cobros::whereBetween('created_at',[
            $carbon->startOfMonth()->toDateString(),
            $carbon->endOfMonth()->toDateString()
       ])->sum('importe');

Answer 1

Try with this code :

$julyDate = date('Y-07-d');
$cobrosm = Cobros::whereBetween('created_at',[
        Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $julyDate)
            ->firstOfMonth()
            ->toDateString(),
        Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $julyDate)
            ->lastOfMonth()
            ->toDateString()
    ])->sum('importe');
