Laravel Carbon seconds to forHumans

Question

I have a table with column seconds, where I insert online time (in seconds),

Carbon::parse($seconds)->forHumans();

Doesnt allow me to do this, there is a way to parse seconds and transfer it to humans reading? like 1 hour or 2 weeks?

Answer 1

This should return the result you're after:

Carbon::now()->subSeconds($seconds)->diffForHumans();

Answer 2

Try this:

Carbon Time in Human readable format

// $sec will be the value from your seconds table
echo Carbon::now()->addSeconds($sec)->diffForHumans();
// OR
echo Carbon::now()->subSeconds($sec)->diffForHumans();

Output

// if $sec = 5
5 seconds from now
