Laravel ORM, date compare

Question

I\'m using Laravel Framework.

I want all of the rows for this day. This is what I tried:

DB::table(\'users\')->where(\'created_at\', \'>=\', date(         


        

Answer 1

Simply:

DB::table('users')->where('created_at', '>=', date('Y-m-d'). ' 00:00:00')

When getting all rows for this day(the time should be 00:00:00), so make sure to set the date condition to current date plus 00:00:00 i.e.

date('Y-m-d'). ' 00:00:00'

Answer 2

Use whereDate

$users = DB::table('users')
                ->whereDate('created_at', '2016-12-31')
                ->get();

other functions you may use are: whereDate / whereMonth / whereDay / whereYear / whereTime

Answer 3

I know that topic is old but may someone try to find a solution from search engines.

You can use:

User::whereDate('created_at', '=', Carbon::today()->toDateString());

Answer 4

date('Y-m-d H:i:s') returns date of now.

If you want results from start of the day you can replace it with date('Y-m-d').' 00:00:00'.

If you want results from last 24 hours you can replace it with date('Y-m-d H:i:s',time()-86400) (86400 = 24*60*60)

Answer 5

For those who only need to compare a date without time, Lavarel provided a handy function whereDate:

User::whereDate('created_at', '>=', date('Y-m-d'));

Answer 6

Hmmm...there was a good answer to this question which seems to have now disappeared.*

It was something like this:

User::where('created_at', '>=', new DateTime('today'))

Note: if you're putting this code in a file with a namespace, or might use a namespace in the future, you should prefix the DateTime class with a backslash: new \DateTime('today').
