Extend date to 3 more hours where post = today's post

It's better to do a whereBetween here on the date column. So something like this

$now = Carbon::now();
$start = Carbon::now()->startOfDay();
$end = Carbon::now()->endOfDay();

// We need this to make sure you see the results from the day before until 3AM
// After 3AM it will show the rest of the day.
if ($now->hour < 3) {
    $start->subDay();
    $end->subDay();
}

$reservations = Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_made_on', [$start, $end])->get();

Note that you can also update $start and $end to be a specific date range. Now it's always from 00:00 to 24:00 but I can image you might want it to be 03:00 till 03:00 the next day

$start = Carbon::now()->startOfDay()->addHours(3);
$end = Carbon::now()->endOfDay()->addHours(3);

Let me know if this works for you!

@BOBBYBOUWMANN -

$start = Carbon::now()->startOfDay()->addHours(3);
$end = Carbon::now()->endOfDay()->addHours(3);

This bit is exactly what I needed. So now I can do this:

$start = Carbon::now()->startOfDay();
$end = Carbon::now()->endOfDay()->addHours(3);

$reservations = Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_made_on', [$start, $end])->get();

So now it will show all the reservations which were made for today and keep them till tomorrow 3AM (bacuse of 3 hours added). But my question is this. Will it collapse with the todays data? I mean if it is 3AM, it will show tomorrows data and todays data right? So is it better to do

$start = Carbon::now()->startOfDay()->addHours(3);
$end = Carbon::now()->endOfDay()->addHours(3);

So that it displays from 3AM to 3AM? So it will not show 2 days data at once (2 days being today and tomorrows) Hope I am making sense here

Exactly ;)

@BOBBYBOUWMANN - Thank you so much sir! :)

No problem :D
