Answer 3

Get Today's Date in Y-m-d formta as given below,

$dt = Carbon::today()->toDateString(); // Use today to display only date

if you have used $dt = Carbon::today() only, it will return the timestamp also.

Answer 6

Or you can use this,

echo Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H', '1975-05-21 22')->toDateTimeString();
 // 1975-05-21 22:00:00

Example,

{{ $post->created_at->toDayDateTimeString()}}

Answer 8

The now helper function creates a new Illuminate\Support\Carbon instance for the current time.

// for the current date
Carbon::now() 

// OR 
now()

# output
# 2021-07-02 00:00:00

// OR
Carbon::now()->toDateString() 

// OR 
now()->toDateString()

# output
# 2021-07-02

If date time store in database in 2021-07-02 00:00:00 and only want to get time 00:00:00. It change the 00:00:00 to 05:30:00 in 12-hours format and 12:00:00 in 24-hours format
