Get the 0-value timestamp date with Carbon

Question

I am attempting to get the 0-value timestamp in an PHP API. I am currently using Carbon in a Laravel / Dingo API based system.

Is there a simple way to get the 0-val

Answer 1

You could try:

echo Carbon::createFromTimestamp(0)->toDateString();
// Displays: 1970-01-01

So you do not have to hardcode the date, just use a 0 timestamp.
