To calculate the number of days between two dates using Carbon in PHP, you can follow these steps:
composer require nesbot/carbon
use Carbon\Carbon;
$date1 = Carbon::parse('2022-01-01');
$date2 = Carbon::parse('2022-01-10');
diffInDays()
method on one of the instances to calculate the difference in days:$numberOfDays = $date1->diffInDays($date2);
echo $numberOfDays;
The diffInDays()
method returns the number of days between the two dates as an integer. In this example, it will output 9
because there are 9 days between January 1st and January 10th, 2022.
