How to create a recurring date pattern (e.g., every Tuesday) using Carbon in PHP?

To create a recurring date pattern using Carbon in PHP, you can use the CarbonPeriod class in combination with the ->recur() method. Here's an example of how to create a recurring pattern for every Tuesday:

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Carbon\CarbonPeriod;

$startDate = Carbon::parse('2022-01-01');
$endDate = Carbon::parse('2022-12-31');

$period = CarbonPeriod::create($startDate, $endDate)->recur()->weeklyOn(Carbon::TUESDAY);

foreach ($period as $date) {
    echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . PHP_EOL;
}

In this example, we first create a start date and an end date using the Carbon::parse() method. Then, we create a CarbonPeriod object using the CarbonPeriod::create() method, passing the start and end dates as arguments.

Next, we chain the recur() method to indicate that we want to create a recurring pattern. Finally, we use the weeklyOn() method and pass Carbon::TUESDAY as an argument to specify that we want to repeat every Tuesday.

To iterate over the recurring dates, we use a foreach loop and format each date using the format('Y-m-d') method before printing it.

This will output all the dates that fall on Tuesdays between the start date and the end date.
