How to get the day after tomorrow in PHP using DateTime?

Question

I have an Eloquent query that currently looks like this:

$rides = Ride::where('date', '>=', new \DateTime('today'))
  ->where('date', '<=', new \DateTime('tomorrow'))
  ->get();

Which works fine, my question is, how do I go about formatting it like so:

$rides = Ride::where('date', '>=', new \DateTime('tomorrow'))
  ->where('date', '<=', new \DateTime('tomorrow + one'))
  ->get();

Meaning I am trying to find the results whose dates are between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

If you want to get the day after tomorrow you can use:

new \DateTime('tomorrow + 1day')

You can find more information in the manual page 'Relative time formats'

Answer 2

The day after tomorrow is two days from now, so this will work:-

$dayAfterTomorrow = (new \DateTime())->add(new \DateInterval('P2D'));

See it working

Answer 3

new \DateTime('tomorrow + 1day')

It's OK if you are not interested in hours and minutes.. It's gives you always midnigth but

$dayAfterTomorrow = (new \DateTime())->add(new \DateInterval('P2D'));

gives you exactly 2 days from now and hours and minutes are kept
