Laravel中的日期格式

Question

I have a form where I input 3 fields ( firstname , lastname , date ), my problem is in the date formatting.

Here is an example. I input the firstname , lastname and the date .

Preview of the form

The date is well formatted => 01-02-1980 in the form.

However in my PhpMyAdmin, I have that => 318211200 it's the date : S

Table in phpMyAdmin

In my overview (panel), I also have 318211200 but not 01-02-1980

Overview panel

In my AdminController I have that:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Student;

class AdminController extends Controller
{
    public function index(){
      $students = Student::oldest()->paginate(5);
      return view('admin.index', compact('students'))
             ->with('i', (request()->input('page',1)-1)*5);
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {

      $request->validate([
              'firstname' => 'required',
              'lastname' => 'required',
              'date' => 'required'
      ]);
      Student::create($request->all());
      return redirect()->route('admin.index')
                  ->with('success', 'save');
    }

}

And for my index.blade

<thead>
                <tr>
                  <th>Firstname</th>
                  <th>Lastname</th>
                  <th>Date</th>
                </tr>
                </thead>
                @foreach($students as $student)
                @php
                  $date=date('d-m-Y', $student['date']);
                @endphp
                <tr>
                   <td> {{$student->firstname}}</td>
                   <td> {{$student->lastname}} </td>
                   <td> {{$student->date}} </td>

Do you have an idea please? I thank you in advance

Answer 1

The date column on the database table must be a datatime data type. So do any one of these two options:

Option 1: In your migration file, change the code for the date column to

$table->dateTime('date');

Then run the artisan command to rollback and update your database

php artisan migrate:refresh

Then try submitting data from the form.

Option 2:

Manually change the data type of the date field on the table from phpMyAdmin.

You might have to truncate the database table, before submitting data from the form.

Answer 2

May be it is because you used the 'time' column type. Try to define the column as 'date'. In your migration file you should write sth like

$table->date('date');

Answer 3

Looks like you might have the wrong datatype for your date column. Consider using a datetime .

If you wish you may alter the column on your table by:

ALTER TABLE students MODIFY date datetime;

Answer 4

Since you havent posted your migration, Im going to have to guess that you havent defined your date column in database is not defined to have dates as input. So, i recommend you to update your migration for this particular table with following code and refresh your migration .

$table->date('date');

Now, you have a date enabled column to enter proper values. After this, I recommend you to use carbon to have date format and other amazing stuff managed by Carbon If you are new to laravel, check this video out which will give you a basic understanding, its little old but you will get the idea.

After you have done this, check this page where it has all possible out of the box options that you may use to manipulate dates. Any issue, let me know

happy coding!
