How to check if a date is in the past or future using Carbon in PHP?

To check if a date is in the past or future using Carbon in PHP, you can use the isPast() and isFuture() methods. Here's an example:

use Carbon\Carbon;

$givenDate = Carbon::create(2022, 10, 31); // Create a Carbon instance with the given date

if ($givenDate->isPast()) {
    echo "The date is in the past.";
} elseif ($givenDate->isFuture()) {
    echo "The date is in the future.";
} else {
    echo "The date is today.";
}

In this example, we create a Carbon instance with the given date (October 31, 2022). We then use the isPast() method to check if the date is in the past and the isFuture() method to check if the date is in the future. Based on the result of these checks, we can display the appropriate message.
