Convert String to Carbon

Question

I am using Laravel 5 1  Few days ago I used protected  dates     license expire   in my model to convert the string date to Carbon instances  In HTML the default value in create form for the date was Carbon Carbon  now  - gt format  Y-m-d    In order to show alert in home page i used  lt p gt Licence Expired   lt b gt     employee- gt license expire  lt  Carbon Carbon  now    License has expired   employee- gt license expire- gt diffForHumans      lt  b gt  lt  p gt   Till then diffForHumans   method works fine   But in that case the edit form s default value also was today s date no matter what was in database I am using a partial form   To resolve it I change the default value in HTML was NUll  And add another method in my model to show current date in create form   public function getLicenseExpireAttribute  date        return Carbon  parse  date - gt format  Y-m-d        After that when i go to home page i have an FatalErrorException which says Call to a member function diffForHumans   on string  When I check the date with dd  employee- gt license expire  it become STRING again   Can anybody tell me how can I convert the string to Carbon in this situation   or  Make my create form s default date as today s date  the edit form s date from database and I can use diffForHumans   to show alert in home page

You were almost there   Remove protected  dates     license expire    and then change your LicenseExpire accessor to   public function getLicenseExpireAttribute  date        return Carbon  parse  date       This way it will return a Carbon instance no matter what  So for your form you would just have  employee- gt license expire- gt format  Y-m-d    or whatever format is required  and diffForHumans   should work on your home page as well   Hope this helps
