Create date from string 'm.Y'
I have a problem with creating date from string with Carbon. For example I have a string 02.2022 which represent month (February) and year but when I use
Carbon::createFromFormat('m.Y', $date)
I store 2022-03-03 :(
How can I prevent this behaviour or at least to store 2022-02-01?

Try this:
Carbon::createFromFormat('!m.Y', '02.2022')
Which returns 2022-02-01
More information on the ! character here.
Resets all fields (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, fraction and timezone information) to zero-like values ( 0 for hour, minute, second and fraction, 1 for month and day, 1970 for year and UTC for timezone information)
Without !, all fields will be set to the current date and time.
