I am very confused by this, maybe its something simple I am not seeing. If I want to see if a date is in the past of today I should be able to do something like this?
if( $league->date_start <= Carbon::now() ){ $join = false; $message = 'Sorry, the league has already started'; } if I dump out the dates its
$league->date_start = 2017-07-31 00:00:00 Carbon::now() = 2017-11-01 16:29:27 $league->date_start is a protected date so its a carbon instance
But this doesnt work, if I switch it to $league->date_start >= Carbon::now() it works and wont let me join. I know the "league" start date is in the past so shouldnt it be $league->date_start <= Carbon::now()?????

You can use array_map to produce this kind of result: $dates_formatted = array_map(function($entry) { // transform the Carbon object to something like 'Dec 25, 1975' return $entry['date']->toFormattedDateString(); }, $dates);
Carbon::now returns the current date and time and Carbon:today returns the current date. $ php today.php 2022-07-13 15:53:45 2022-07-13 00:00:00. This is a sample output. Carbon::yesterday creates a Carbon instance for yesterday and Carbon::tomorrow for tomorrow.
There's built-in Carbon method isPast so you can use:
$league->date_start->isPast() to determine if date is in past or not
