How to get days and hours from diffForHumans with Carbon?

Question

I want to display how many days and hours to a date using Carbon , currently I got the code below.

Carbon::parse("2017-03-07 17:46:50")->diffForHumans()

It outputs:

6 days from now

I want it to output something like this:

6 days and 12 hours from now

How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can specify the level of details like this:

Carbon::parse("2017-03-07 17:46:50")->diffForHumans(['parts' => 6]);

You can use a value from 1 to 6. ( Doc )

Answer 2

Sorry I got this question today but here it is

$now = Carbon::now();
Carbon::parse("2017-03-07 17:46:50")->diffForHumans($now);

I hope it works and may help others.
