How to get the next month from date in Laravel Carbon?

In Laravel, Carbon is a popular date/time library that provides an easy way to work with dates in PHP. To get the next month from a date using Carbon in Laravel, you can use the addMonth() method.

Here’s an example code snippet:

use Carbon\Carbon;

$date = Carbon::parse('2022-03-15');

$nextMonth = $date->addMonth()->format('F Y');

echo $nextMonth; // Output: April 2022

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 addMonth() method is then called on the Carbon object, which adds one month to the date and returns a new Carbon instance representing the resulting date.

Finally, the format() method is called on the resulting Carbon instance with the ‘F Y’ format characters to output the name of the next month and the year in the format of “month year”.

The $nextMonth variable is then output using the echo statement, which will output the name of the next month and the year, in this case “April 2022”.
