How to find the next occurrence of a specific day of the week using Carbon in PHP?

To find the next occurrence of a specific day of the week using Carbon in PHP, you can use the next() method with the desired day of the week as a parameter. Here's an example:

use Carbon\Carbon;

// Get the current date
$today = Carbon::now();

// Define the desired day of the week (e.g., "Monday")
$desiredDayOfWeek = 'Monday';

// Check if the current day is the desired day of the week
if ($today->is($desiredDayOfWeek)) {
    // If it is, return the current date
    $nextOccurrence = $today;
} else {
    // If it's not, find the next occurrence of the desired day of the week
    $nextOccurrence = $today->next($desiredDayOfWeek);
}

// Output the next occurrence
echo $nextOccurrence->format('Y-m-d');

In this example, we create a Carbon object for the current date and time. We then compare the current day of the week with the desired day. If they match, we set the $nextOccurrence variable to the current date. Otherwise, we use the next() method to find the next occurrence of the desired day of the week and store it in the $nextOccurrence variable. Finally, we output the next occurrence in the desired format.
