How to set the locale for date formatting in Carbon for PHP?

To set the locale for date formatting in Carbon for PHP, you can use the setLocale() method. Here's how you can do it:

Import the Carbon library at the top of your PHP file:

use Carbon\Carbon;

Set the desired locale using the setLocale() method. For example, if you want to set the locale to English, you can do:

Carbon::setLocale('en');

After setting the locale, you can format the date using the format() method as usual. Carbon will use the configured locale for formatting:

$date = Carbon::now();
$formattedDate = $date->format('l, F d, Y');
echo $formattedDate;  // Output: Wednesday, January 01, 2022

By setting the locale, Carbon will use the appropriate language and format for the specified locale when displaying day names, month names, and other locale-specific date formats.
