Answer 1

Make sure to use Carbon\Carbon;

• You can use diffInDays for days.
• You can use diffInHours for Hours.
• You can use diffInMinutes for Minutes.
• You can use DiffInSeconds for Seconds.

    $formatted_dt1=Carbon::parse('2019-09-26 00:00:00');
    $formatted_dt2=Carbon::parse('2019-09-28 00:00:00');


    $date_diff=$formatted_dt1->diffInDays($formatted_dt2);
    echo $date_diff.' Day '; //2 days


    $hours_diff = $formatted_dt1->diffInHours($formatted_dt2); 
    echo $date_diff.' Hours '; //48 Hours 


    $Minutesdiff = $formatted_dt1->diffInMinutes($formatted_dt2); 
    echo $Minutesdiff.' Minutes '; //2880 Minutes



    $seconddiff = $formatted_dt1->DiffInSeconds($formatted_dt2); 
    echo $seconddiff.' Seconds '; //172800  Seconds
    exit;
