Get date from Carbon function Laravel 5

echo $carbon_today; // the __toString will call format('Y-m-d H:i:s')
$carbon_today->toDateString(); // same as ->format('Y-m-d')
$carbon_today->toFormattedDateString(); // same as ->format('M j, Y')
$carbon_today->format('d-m-Y'); // custom format

If you want the date you can simply do this

$carbon = Carbon::today();

$timestamp = $carbon->timestamp
$format = $carbon->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$year = $carbon->year;

See the documentation for more examples: http://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/

Tnx!

$carbon_today= Carbon::today()->format('Y-m-d G:H:i'); solve problem!

Also,having problem with whereBetween function: $carbon_time= Carbon::now(); $carbon_today= Carbon::today()->format('Y-m-d G:H:i'); $pagination =Orders::whereBetween('created_at', array( $carbon_today , $carbon_time))->paginate(5);

In DB exist data to made this query true, but no result. When I manualy put dates in query, get result. IS there a way to add ' ' on $carbon_time and $carbon_today I think that made a problem...

@pavlen Um 'Y-m-d G:H:i' would result in '2015-07-10 0:00:00' missing the leading 0, and the hour in place of the minutes and minutes where the seconds should be.

G = 24-hour format of an hour without leading zeros

H = 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros

i = Minutes with leading zeros

$today = Carbon::today()->toDateTimeString(); // "2015-07-10 00:00:00"
$now = Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString(); // "2015-07-10 11:33:35"

->whereBetween('created_at', [$today, $now])

You could probably just go with > today tbh unless you are really trying to exclude orders with a future created_at date ?

$today = Carbon::today()->toDateString();
