How to get Date from array of objects in Laravel

Question

I'm trying to get date from $array[$i] variable because $array[$i] is giving me list of objects and I want just date from that object

for($i=0; $i<30; $i++){
      $array[$i] = Carbon::now()->addDays(-$i);
      $today_graph[$i] = payment::where('payment_date','=', $array[$i])->sum('amount');
}

currenlty array is giving the list of object

Answer 1

Use $array[$i]->toDateString()

Or if you need time also you can use this $array[$i]->toDateTimeString()

Check docs here .

Answer 2

payment::whereDate('payment_date','=', $array[$i])->sum('amount');
