Ho can i display date time with Carbon in my local time ?

In you AppServiceProvider on boot method use

Carbon::setLocale('en');

I put it : Carbon::setLocale('en'); on boot() function and also in config/app is set to: 'timezone' => 'UTC', still give me time 09:47 , in my place is :11:47 ?

You could set the locale using PHP's setLocale() function as such :

//get locale from laravel-config-file
setlocale(LC_TIME, config('app.locale'))
//or set locale for your location
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en')

You can add this function in your register() method of AppServicePorvider, so it gets loaded in the laravel lifecycle

Edit ::

You have to use the Carbon formatLocalized($format) method to get the desired results.

Try this

app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php

public function boot() 
{
    Carbon::setLocale(config('app.locale'));
}

config/app.php

'locale' => 'en',

@gabrelbuzzi i try it , but the same not shows me the correct time , it is shows time that is forward 2h. But in config/app when i change timezone to be "Europe/Skopje" it is working , but i don't want to work only for Skopje , i want to work depends where user is.

@majacirkova Hmm, got it, but this the set_locale get the timezone from server side, maybe you should try to get the client locale and the in the config/app.

i don't know if this will works, but searching a little bit i found this Server Variable

'locale' => $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'],

Hi @majacirkova see if the answer to this question helps... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16525617/how-to-detect-users-timezone

tl;dr; If you Must do it in your php code, you need the browser to tell you where it is. It's often easier to use UTC time and convert it in the browser with JS.

sorry for late but i am stuck in this problem yesterday and find a best solution for this

In helpers.php

function get_local_time(){

   $ip = file_get_contents("http://ipecho.net/plain");

   $url = 'http://ip-api.com/json/'.$ip;

   $tz = file_get_contents($url);

   $tz = json_decode($tz,true)['timezone'];

   return $tz;

}

in controller

 dd(carbon::now(get_local_time()));

it will find client ip address and it return an json object in it gives us client timezone.

@socialmosiac Wouldn't that return the info/timezone for the server, and not the individual user accessing the server?
