我有两个字段分别称为created_at和Updated_at（timestamps），我想在where子句中的这些日期之间进行搜索

Question

i want to take input date as a parameter and search between the dates that are given in input.

Theses are the timestamps() provided by laravel to create the two fields as created_at and upated_at.I want to search between these dates that are given in created_at and updated_at but unable to find the data between these dates. Following is the code that i have create

` $startDate = $request->input('created_at');
  $endDate   = $request->input('updated_at');

->select()
->whereBetween('created_at','updated_at',[$startDate,$endDate])
->get();`

Answer 1

I think whereBetween only accepts 2 parameters. The first being the column name and the second the array with values to test. Check: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/queries#where-clauses

You would want something like:

->whereBetween('created_at', [$startDate,$endDate])
->whereBetween('updated_at', [$startDate,$endDate])

Answer 2

The error:

Argument 2 passed to Illuminate\\Database\\Query\\Builder::whereBetween() must be of the type array

is because the second parameter of whereBetween() is an array, and you pass a string 'updated_at' here. So change it to like:

->whereBetween('created_at', [$startDate,$endDate])
->whereBetween('updated_at', [$startDate,$endDate])
