change default date format laravel sql query
I want to change date out put from following SELECT query to DD/MM/YYY format . pls advice. this is what I tried so far ->select('time_sheets.progress',DATE_FORMAT('time_sheets.date', "%d/%l/%Y") ,'role_users.role_id','roles.role_name') Instead of using ->select you can use selectRaw to allow raw SQL query so you can use: ->selectRaw('time_sheets.progress, DATE_FORMAT(time_sheets.date, "%d/%l/%Y"), role_users.role_id, roles.role_name'); ->select('time_sheets.progress',\DB::raw('DATE_FORMAT(p.created_at,\'%d-%m-%Y\') as data')), role_users.role_id, roles.role_name'); Hope to help someone else !
