I am using carbon interval to get timeslot between two time . It works fine but when I input start time in PM then the end time in AM it cause $slots undefined. Other than that it work without error

I am expecting to input between two time without error. Hope you all can help me

With the below payload

{
    "starttime" : "12:00PM",
    "endtime" : "05:00AM",
    "interval": 5    
}

I found this working . Better you convert your requested time in the proper format first.

if(strtotime($request->endtime) < strtotime($request->starttime)){
        $starttime = Carbon::parse($request->starttime)->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
        $endtime = Carbon::parse($request->endtime)->addDay(1)->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
} else {
        $starttime = Carbon::parse($request->starttime)->format("H:i:s");
        $endtime = Carbon::parse($request->endtime)->format("H:i:s");
}
$interval = $request->interval;

$intervals = CarbonPeriod::since($starttime)->minutes($interval)->until($endtime)->toArray();
    foreach($intervals as $slot){

        $slots= Slot::create([            
            'nslot'=> $slot->format('H:i')
        ]);

    }
