Laravel 5.4 get every day of the current week using Carbon

Question

I've been using the syntax Carbon::now()->startOfWeek() and Carbon::now()->endOfWeek() for awhile now.

It returns the first day of the week which is the date of Monday and the last day of the week which is the date of Sunday. (I don't know why it wasn't Sunday and Saturday)

But now, I want to get every day of the current week. So what's left is the dates of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Here's my exact syntax on getting Monday and Sunday.

$monday = Carbon::now()->startOfWeek();
$sunday = Carbon::now()->endOfWeek();

Answer 1

You can progress through the week with addDay().

$monday = Carbon::now()->startOfWeek();
$tuesday = $monday->copy()->addDay();
$wednesday = $tuesday->copy()->addDay();

You can also check which day of the week you have.

$wednesday === Carbon::WEDNESDAY; // true
