How to compare created_at timestamp with carbon date in laravel?

@herminia_bruen 

To compare the created_at timestamp with the current date using Carbon in Laravel, you can use the diffInDays() method. Here is an example of how you can compare the created_at timestamp with the current date:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

use CarbonCarbon;

// Retrieve the record from the database
$record = YourModel::find($id);

// Get the created_at timestamp from the record
$createdAt = Carbon::parse($record->created_at);

// Get the current date
$currentDate = Carbon::now();

// Calculate the difference in days between the created_at timestamp and the current date
$daysDifference = $createdAt->diffInDays($currentDate);

// Output the difference in days
echo "The record was created ".$daysDifference." days ago.";

In the example above, we first retrieve the record from the database and get the created_at timestamp from it. We then get the current date using Carbon::now() and calculate the difference in days between the created_at timestamp and the current date using the diffInDays() method. Finally, we output the difference in days.
