How do I get current week's count data from table in Laravel

Question

I am trying to get this current week's data from my table

I have the following code which gives me 31 days of data (A month but it's separated which is what I need)

$stats["tmv"] = "";
$stats["tmd"] = "";
$stats["tru"] =  array();

        for ($i=1; $i <= 31; $i++) {
            $stats["tmv"] .= DB::table('stats')->select(DB::raw('*'))->where(DB::raw('DAY(created_at)'), '=', $i)->where('stats_type', "mv")->count();
            $stats["tmd"] .= DB::table('stats')->select(DB::raw('*'))->where(DB::raw('DAY(created_at)'), '=', $i)->where('stats_type', "md")->count();
            $stats["tru"][$i] = DB::table('users')->select(DB::raw('*'))->where(DB::raw('DAY(created_at)'), '=', $i)->count();

            if ($i != 31) {
                $stats["tmv"] .= ",";
                $stats["tmd"] .= ",";
            }
        }

Output:

"tmv" => "11,4,1,13,0,5,15,2,0,24,1,7,17,18,45,14,31,61,3,1,4,1,1,27,30,47,18,60,10,0,156"

How do I edit my query to select this current week's data but still output the count like:

"11,4,1,13,0,5,15"

Your code generates a lot of queries which is really bad. There are many ways to get data you want with one query. For example, using Eloquent:

Stats::where('created_at', '>', Carbon::now()->startOfWeek())
     ->where('created_at', '<', Carbon::now()->endOfWeek())
     ->get();

If you want to get data for another week and not the current one, use another Carbon object like Carbon::parse('2017-05-01') instead of Carbon::now()
