Does anyone know how to pass a given variable instead the Carbon's default parameters ?
The documentation of Carbon says:
// CARBON SAMPLE
$dtToronto = Carbon::createFromDate(2012, 1, 1, 'America/Toronto');
$dtVancouver = Carbon::createFromDate(2012, 1, 1, 'America/Vancouver');
echo $dtVancouver->diffInHours($dtToronto); // 3
And i want to do something like this in my controller:
// EXAMPLE
$date = "2016-09-16 11:00:00";
$datework = Carbon::createFromDate($date);
$now = Carbon::now();
$testdate = $datework->diffInDays($now);
And retrieving that on a Blade template
// VIEW ON BLADE
<td> {{ $testdate }} </td>
You are not following the example from the Carbon Documentation. The method Carbon::createFromDate()
expects 4 parameters: year, month, day and timezone. And you are trying to pass a formatted date string.
If you want to create a Carbon object from a formatted date string you can use the constructor of the class just like this:
$date = "2016-09-17 11:00:00";
$datework = new Carbon($date);
Or you can use the static Carbon::parse()
method:
$date = "2016-09-17 11:00:00";
$datework = Carbon::parse($date);
For your purposes you can use the this full example:
$date = Carbon::parse('2016-09-17 11:00:00');
$now = Carbon::now();
$diff = $date->diffInDays($now);
And then in your Blade template:
<td> {{ $diff }} </td>
