in my controller i used Carbon to get current timestamp like showing below:
$current_timestamp = Carbon::now()->format('j/n/Y');
the output of the above:
18/8/2022
and i am getting data from external API like showing below (from blade):
$data[0]['DocDate']
the output of the above:
18/8/2022 12:00:00 AM
now i want to remove 12:00:00 AM
from it
i tried in blade view to do:
{{Carbon\Carbon::parse($data[29]['DocDate'])->toDateString()}}
but i am getting this error:
Could not parse '18/8/2022 12:00:00 AM': Failed to parse time string (18/8/2022 12:00:00 AM) at position 0 (1): Unexpected character
and i tried:
$data[29]['DocDate']->format('j/n/Y')
and i get this error:
Call to a member function format() on string
how can i overcome this issue?

You can use create from format function to change the format of incoming date as below:
$inDate = $data[0]['DocDate'];
$outDate = Carbon::createFromFormat('d/m/Y h:i:s a', $inDate )->format('d/m/Y');
CodePudding user response:
On the principle of Keep It Simple - Why not just compare them as strings?, the longer one can easily be shortened, then just compare. Accepted this is not a "purest" approach, but the format of a "standard" date is not likely to change.

So you don't actually care about date, you don't need Carbon or parsing according to format, you just need to keep the first word of your string:
{{ explode(' ', $data[0]['DocDate'])[0] }}
