Using Carbon with laravel 5.6.
I want write a code that give me next occurrence of date from current date.
E.g Give next 31st May date
Scenario 1 :
Input : $currentDate = '01-30-2019'; // MM-DD-YYYY format
Expected Output: $next31May = '05-31-2019';
Scenario 2 :
Input : $currentDate = '07-04-2019'; // MM-DD-YYYY format
Expected Output: $next31May = '05-31-2020';
Update:
I tried below code but not satisfy
<?php
public function nextOccurance()
{
$now = Carbon::now();
$month= $now->month;
$year = $now->year;
if($month > 6)
{
echo Carbon::createMidnightDate($year+1, 5, 31);
}
else
{
echo Carbon::createMidnightDate(null, 5, 31);
}
exit();
}
?>
Thank You in advance.

Answer 1

public function nextOccurance()
{
// the 31th of May of the current year
$day = Carbon::createFromFormat('m-d', '05-31');
$now = Carbon::now();
// If today after $day
if($now >= $day) {
// Gat a next year
$day->modify('next year');
}
echo $day->format('Y-m-d');
exit();
}

Answer 2

this is like to get the next birthday.
class Test
{
public static function getNextBirthday($date)
{
// set birthday from current year
$date = Carbon::createFromFormat('m-d-Y', $date);
$date->year(Carbon::now()->year);
// diff from 31 may to now
// its negative than add one year, otherwise use the current
if (Carbon::now()->diffInDays($date, false) >= 0) {
return $date->format('m-d-Y');
}
return $date->addYear()->format('m-d-Y');
}
}
echo Test::getNextBirtday('05-31-1990');

I wish this will help you to fix informed issue.
$event = Carbon::parse('31 May');
if (Carbon::now() >= $event){
$nextEvent = $event->addYear();
} else {
$nextEvent = $event;
}
echo $nextEvent->format('m-d-Y');

Carbon provides a nice and a fluent interface to this kind of stuff.
You can lastOfMonth() to get the last day of month. for adding year you can add addYear(1)
$now = Carbon::now();
$month= $now->month;
$year = $now->year;
if($month > 6)
{
echo $now->addMonth(5)->lastOfMonth();
}
else
{
echo $now->addYear(1);
}
exit();
}
