I am using an eloquent query to retrieve data from a table. The table columns look like this:
id started_at finished_at
1 2016-06-01 2016-06-30
2 2016-05-03 2016-05-28
What I want to do is, given a $date (ex: 2016-06-18 ) and get the data of the row, that the $date between started at and finished_at columns.
I have found whereBetween clauses in Laravel documentation, but I do not have an idea to use it correctly.
If you can use Carbon then this code is working fine for me.
$dateS = new Carbon('first day of January 2016');
$dateE = new Carbon('first day of November 2016');
$result = ModelName::whereBetween('created_at', [$dateS->format('Y-m-d')." 00:00:00", $dateE->format('Y-m-d')." 23:59:59"])->get();
Or you can check the issue by debugging query using DB::enableQueryLog(); and DB::getQueryLog(); functions like
DB::enableQueryLog();
$dateS = new Carbon('first day of January 2016');
$dateE = new Carbon('first day of November 2016');
$result = ModelName::whereBetween('created_at', [$dateS->format('Y-m-d')." 00:00:00", $dateE->format('Y-m-d')." 23:59:59"])->get();
var_dump($result, DB::getQueryLog());
Try to do something like this:
$date1 = Carbon::today()->toDateString();
$date2 = Carbon::today()->toDateString();
$myModel = MyModel::find(1);
$myModel->whereBetween('created_at', [$date1, $date2]);
$myModel->get();
Off course, you will need to change the dates.
