            "customer_name": "rahul farm"
        },            
]

this is my query

$wdata= DB::table('weekly_billing')
                ->Join('customers', 'weekly_billing.customer_id', '=', 'customers.id')
                ->select('weekly_billing.*','customers.customer_name','customers.bill_period')
                ->where('weekly_billing.bill_period','monthly')
                ->get();

I want to fetch the record of latest month like here i want to fetch sept record only i am using laravel any help would be appreciated

You can modify your query like so:

$wdata= DB::table('weekly_billing')
    ->join('customers', 'weekly_billing.customer_id', '=', 'customers.id')
    ->select('weekly_billing.*','customers.customer_name','customers.bill_period')
    ->where('weekly_billing.bill_period','monthly')
    ->where('month', Carbon::now()->format('M Y'))
    ->get();

the MY format should result in Sep 2021 (at the time of writing).

A generic approach based on your billing span would be:

$wdata= DB::table('weekly_billing')
    ->join('customers', 'weekly_billing.customer_id', '=', 'customers.id')
    ->select('weekly_billing.*','customers.customer_name','customers.bill_period')
    ->whereRaw(Carbon::now()->format('Y m d').' BETWEEN from_date AND to_date')
    ->get();
