if someone tell me to use carbon please explain how to use it ?

NB : i use laravel 5.1

Answer 1

Try this:

<?php echo date('d F Y', strtotime($post->tanggal)); ?>

Where

• d - The day of the month (from 01 to 31)
• F - A full textual representation of a month (January through December)
• Y - A four digit representation of a year

Answer 2

//replace
<td class="mailbox-name"><?php echo $post->tanggal?></td>
//to 
<td class="mailbox-name"><?php echo date('d M Y',strtotime($post->tanggal)); ?></td>

Answer 3

It is better to use php Carbon date format in the view file.

If <?php echo $post->tanggal?> is which gets the date then:

This will work:

<?php echo Carbon\Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $post->tanggal)->format('d M Y') ?>

The above returns the same output as you want.

If you want to change the format further. Then this link might help.

Carbon is inherited from PHP DateTime class. So if you are using laravel i recommend you to use Carbon.

Answer 4

If you could use Eloquent, you could automatically cast the column to a Carbon date object.

You'd need a Post model and would have to make sure you've included tanggal in the columns that are cast to dates.

class Post extends Model {

    protected $dates = ['tanggal'];

Then Laravel will automatically convert the date into a Carbon object, which gives you access to all sorts of handy functions.

Then within your view just output the date in the format you're after.

$post -> tanggal -> format('d m Y');
