I have an array that returns the following date time:

$item['created_at'] => "2015-10-28 19:18:44"

How do I change the date to M d Y format in Laravel using Carbon?

Currently it returns with an error

$suborder['payment_date'] = $item['created_at']->format('M d Y');

First parse the created_at field as Carbon object. 

$createdAt = Carbon::parse($item['created_at']);

Then you can use

$suborder['payment_date'] = $createdAt->format('M d Y');
