To change the date format in Laravel using PHP, you can use the format() method provided by the Carbon library, which is included in Laravel by default. Here's how you can do it:

1

use CarbonCarbon;

$date = Carbon::now();
$formattedDate = $date->format('Y-m-d'); // Change the format as needed

echo $formattedDate; // Output the formatted date


In the example above, Carbon::now() creates a new instance of the Carbon class with the current date and time. We then use the format() method to change the date format to 'Y-m-d', but you can change it to any format you like, such as 'd/m/Y' or 'm/d/Y'.


Remember to include the Carbon class at the top of your file using use CarbonCarbon;. This way you can easily work with date and time in your Laravel application.
