In Laravel, Carbon is a popular date/time library that provides an easy way to work with dates in PHP. To get the name of the day from a date using Carbon in Laravel, you can use the format() method with the ‘l’ format character.
Here’s an example code snippet:
use Carbon\Carbon;
$date = Carbon::parse('2022-03-15');
$day = $date->format('l');
echo $day; // Output: Tuesday
In this example, we’re starting with a date string of ‘2022-03-15’, which is parsed into a Carbon object using the static parse() method. This creates a new Carbon instance representing the given date.
The format() method is then called on the Carbon object with the ‘l’ format character, which returns the full name of the day of the week represented by the date.
Finally, the $day variable is output using the echo statement, which will output the name of the day ‘Tuesday’.
