Calculate difference between two dates using Carbon and Blade
You are not following the example from the Carbon Documentation. The method Carbon::createFromDate() expects 4 parameters: year, month, day and timezone. And you are trying to pass a formatted date string.
If you want to create a Carbon object from a formatted date string you can use the constructor of the class just like this:
$date = "2016-09-17 11:00:00";$datework = new Carbon($date);Or you can use the static Carbon::parse() method:
$date = "2016-09-17 11:00:00";$datework = Carbon::parse($date);For your purposes you can use the this full example:
$date = Carbon::parse('2016-09-17 11:00:00');$now = Carbon::now();$diff = $date->diffInDays($now);And then in your Blade template:
<td> {{ $diff }} </td>
Blade Template
A shorter code
{{ $diff = Carbon\Carbon::parse($data->last_updated)->diffForHumans() }}Result : 6 minutes ago
You code can be cleaned up and have the commented out code removed by doing:
<td>{{ $diff = Carbon\Carbon::parse($work['date'])->diffForHumans(Carbon\Carbon::now()) }} </td>
