how to give condition for matching expiry_date is greater than & equal to current date(laravel)

Question

i want to fetch data from database based on condition as 'expires_on' should be '>=' 'current_date'. this is my code:

    $date = new Carbon;
    $news = DB::table('feed_news')
            ->select('*')
            ->where('expires_on', '>=' ,$date)
            ->orderBy('news_date','DESC')
            ->get(); 

my problem is :

when i do dd($news), it returns me all data based on expires_on '>' current_date but not equal to current_date.

Answer 1

Use the whereDate() method:

DB::table('feed_news')->whereDate('expires_on', '>=', $date->toDateString())
    ->latest('news_date')
    ->get();
