I need to get the current date, time, day using laravel
I tried to echo $ldate = new DateTime('today');
and $ldate = new DateTime('now');
But it is returning 1 always.
How can i get the current date, time , day in larvel
Laravel has the Carbon
dependency attached to it.
Carbon::now()
, include the Carbon\Carbon
namespace if necessary.
Edit (usage and docs)
Say I want to retrieve the date and time and output it as a string.
$mytime = Carbon\Carbon::now();
echo $mytime->toDateTimeString();
This will output in the usual format of Y-m-d H:i:s
, there are many pre-created formats and you will unlikely need to mess with PHP date time strings again with Carbon.
