Carbon returns different dateTime when parsing-CodePudding

I have a date string and start time as a string too, im first combining the dates with PHP date() object, then im parsing to a Carbon object, when I return the carbon object I get a different dateTime than the expected result, for example $combinedDt = 2021-09-28 19:33 when I return $parsed I got 2021-09-29T00:33:00.000000Z" which is different than the input date

        $combinedDT = date('Y-m-d H:i', strtotime("$request->date $request->start_time"));
        $parsed = new Carbon($combinedDT, 'America/Bogota');

        return $parsed;

How can I fix this problem.

CodePudding user response：

Its natural as you are using two different timezone. You can make it same timezone inside config though or use this.

  $parsed= Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i', $request->date)
                        ->setTimezone('America/Bogota');

  return $parsed;

CodePudding user response：

you can try this instead of creating 2 different date objects

$parsed = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i', $request->date'.' '.$request->start_time"));
