how to increase days in date in laravel

Question

Nowadays I am working on laravel application. I am new on laravel and it is my first project. Can you guys please tell me how to increase days in date?

I have these 3 variables:

 $subscription['start_date'] = $dates['start'];
 $subscription['end_date'] = $dates['end'];
 $subscription['trial_end_date'] = $dates['trial'];
 start 
 end
 trial 

start values are perfect but in end and trial I want date of 10 days later

Please help me, I'd be really thankful

Answer 1

You can achieve that using the Carbon PHP API date-time exstension.

If you want to add 10 days to your date, simply do this:

$subscription['trial_end_date']->addDays(10); 

Or if your trial_end_date is not a Carbon instance, you can do this instead:

Carbon::parse($subscription['trial_end_date'])->addDays(10);

The method is the same for any of your dates. If you have any errors or need any more help, let me know.

Answer 2

Make use of Carbon , where you can easily handles tasks like this.

Example:

$subscription['trial_end_date'] = Carbon::createFromFormat('your-format-here', $dates['trial']);
$subscription['trial_end_date']->addDays(10);

Don't forget to import the correct Namespace on top

$date = $your_desire->addDays($i);

Answer 4

The best way is by using Carbon . Carbon is a simple php Api extension for Datetime .

First you need to import carbon like so use Carbon\Carbon; which in built in Laravel .

Make $subscription['start_date'] an instance of Carbon before using addDays()

 <?php // Make $subscription['start_date'] an instance of Carbon before using addDays() $trialends = Carbon::parse($subscription['start_date'])->addDays(10);
