Laravel get current date using carbon with format without delimeter

Question

I want to format my date to be like this yyyyMMddHHmmss

Here is my currentcode

  $now = Carbon::now()->toString();
        $format='yyyyMMddHHmmss';
        //$parsed = Carbon::parse($now);
        $formatted = Carbon::parse($now);
        //$x = strtotime($now);
   dd($formatted);

I got a date like this

Carbon\Carbon @1580189543 {#223 ▼
  date: 2020-01-28 13:32:23.0 +08:00
}

If I modify my code like this

$formatted = Carbon::parse($now,$format);
    dd($formatted);

It says Unknown or bad timezone (yyyyMMddHHmmss) I just want my date to become like this 20200128 133223

Does anyone know how to do it?

Answer 1

像这样在 Carbon 上使用格式：

Carbon::now()->format('YmdHis')

Answer 2

Your desire format is like

Carbon::now()->format('yymd his')
