Formatting a Carbon date instance
First parse the created_at field as Carbon object.
$createdAt = Carbon::parse($item['created_at']);
Then you can use
$suborder['payment_date'] = $createdAt->format('M d Y');
Date Casting for Laravel 6.x and 7.x
/**
* The attributes that should be cast.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'created_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-d',
'updated_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-d',
'deleted_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-d h:i:s'
];
It easy for Laravel 5 in your Model add property protected $dates = ['created_at', 'cached_at']
. See detail here https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/eloquent-mutators#date-mutators
Date Mutators: Laravel 5.x
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
/**
* The attributes that should be mutated to dates.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $dates = ['created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at'];
}
You can format date like this $user->created_at->format('M d Y');
or any format that support by PHP.
$suborder['payment_date'] = Carbon::parse($item['created_at'])->format('M d Y');
If you are using eloquent model (by looking at your code, i think you are), you dont need to convert it into array. Just use it as object. Becaus elike Thomas Kim said, by default it is a Carbon instance
So it should be
$suborder['payment_date'] = $item->created_at->format('Y-m-d')
But if it is not then, you need convert it to Carbon object as Milan Maharjan answer
$createdAt = Carbon::parse($item['created_at']);
Declare in model:
class ModelName extends Model
{
protected $casts = [
'created_at' => 'datetime:d/m/Y', // Change your format
'updated_at' => 'datetime:d/m/Y',
];
