How to Change Date Format in Laravel 11

Hello developers! In this article, we'll see how to change the date format in laravel 11. Here, we'll learn in laravel 11 to change the date format with the help of carbon. Carbon is a PHP library for working with dates and times. It provides an easy-to-use and intuitive API for manipulating dates and times.

Carbon can support multiple date format options such as d-m-Y, Y-m-d, and m/d/Y, and you can easily parse, format, manipulate, and compare dates.

Now, we'll convert created_at date to d-m-Y format.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
  
class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $user = User::first();
        $created_at = $user->created_at->format('d-m-Y');
        
        dd($created_at);
    }
}

Output:

27-04-2024

Then, we'll convert the date format Y-md H:i:s to d-m-Y using the carbon function createFromFormat.

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
  
class DemoController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

        $MDYDate = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date)->format('m/d/Y');

        dd($MDYDate);
    }
}

Output:

04/27/2024

Then, we'll change format to m/d/Y using carbon.

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
   
class DemoController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $date = "2024-04-27";

        $MDYDate = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date)->format('m/d/Y');
  
        dd($MDYDate);
    }
}

Output:

04/27/2024

Next, we'll convert the date format to Y-m-d format

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;
 
class DemoController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $date = "04/27/2024";

        $YMDDate = Carbon::createFromFormat('m/d/Y', $date)->format('Y-m-d');
  
        dd($YMDDate);
    }
}

Output:

2024-04-27

Now, we'll convert the date with the month sort name.

$date = "2024-04-24";
	
$newDateFormat = \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date)->format('d M Y');

Output:

24 APR 2024

Next, we'll convert the date with the month's full name using the carbon.

$date = "2024-04-24";
	
$newDateFormat = \Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date)->format('d F Y');

Output:

15 April 2024
