You can use the carbon diffInDays() function for that:
$difference = $date1->diffInDays($date2);

Calculate Difference between two dates ?
I need to calculate the number of days between now() and expiry date to get number of days for expiry. My blade is giving incorrect days. Any help ? The code is in a foreach loop.
Blade
<div class="job-listing-footer">
@php
$date1 = now();
$date2 = $item->expiry_date;
$difference = $date1->diff($date2);
$diffInDays = $difference->d;
@endphp
<ul>
@if ($diffInDays==1)
<li><i class="icon-material-outline-access-time"></i>{{$diffInDays}} day left</li>
{{-- <div class="countdown green margin-bottom-35">{{$diffInDays}} day left</div> --}}
@else
<li><i class="icon-material-outline-access-time"></i>{{$diffInDays}} days left</li>
{{-- <div class="countdown green margin-bottom-35">{{$diffInDays}} days left</div> --}}
@endif
</ul>
</div>

@Nakov Getting this error : Attempt to read property "d" on int

@FounderStartup because diffInDays gives you an integer back. not an interval object

now() gives you the date and time and if it less than 24 hours it subtract the day.
you can use today() instead

be aware your approach will also return 1 if you are 1 day past expiry

@Snapey you can pass false as second argument
$date1 = today();
$date2 = new \Carbon\Carbon('2022-3-8');
$difference = $date1->diffInDays($date2, false); // -1

@alqahtani What will be the outcome if date2 less than date1 ?
Level 15
if $date2 less than $date1 the result would be negative -- passed expiry date
if $date2 greater than $date1 the result would be positive
