How to query between two dates using Laravel and Eloquent? - php

Question

I'm trying to create a report page that shows reports from a specific date to a specific date. Here's my current code:
$now = date('Y-m-d');
$reservations = Reservation::where('reservation_from', $now)->get();
What this does in plain SQL is select * from table where reservation_from = $now.
I have this query here but I don't know how to convert it to eloquent query.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE reservation_from BETWEEN '$from' AND '$to
How can I convert the code above to eloquent query?

Answer 1

The whereBetween method verifies that a column's value is between
two values.
$from = date('2018-01-01');
$to = date('2018-05-02');
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();
In some cases you need to add date range dynamically. Based on #Anovative's comment you can do this:
Reservation::all()->filter(function($item) {
if (Carbon::now()->between($item->from, $item->to)) {
return $item;
}
});
If you would like to add more condition then you can use orWhereBetween. If you would like to exclude a date interval then you can use whereNotBetween .
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from1, $to1])
->orWhereBetween('reservation_to', [$from2, $to2])
->whereNotBetween('reservation_to', [$from3, $to3])
->get();
Other useful where clauses: whereIn, whereNotIn, whereNull, whereNotNull, whereDate, whereMonth, whereDay, whereYear, whereTime, whereColumn , whereExists, whereRaw.
Laravel docs about Where Clauses.

And I have created the model scope
To Know More about scopes check out the below links:
laravel.com/docs/eloquent#query-scopes
medium.com/#janaksan/using-scope-with-laravel
Code:
/**
* Scope a query to only include the last n days records
*
* #param \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder $query
* #return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
*/
public function scopeWhereDateBetween($query,$fieldName,$fromDate,$todate)
{
return $query->whereDate($fieldName,'>=',$fromDate)->whereDate($fieldName,'<=',$todate);
}
And in the controller, add the Carbon Library to top
use Carbon\Carbon;
To get the last 10 days record from now
$lastTenDaysRecord = ModelName::whereDateBetween('created_at',(new Carbon)->subDays(10)->startOfDay()->toDateString(),(new Carbon)->now()->endOfDay()->toDateString() )->get();
To get the last 30 days record from now
$lastThirtyDaysRecord = ModelName::whereDateBetween('created_at',(new Carbon)->subDays(30)->startOfDay()->toDateString(),(new Carbon)->now()->endOfDay()->toDateString() )->get();

Answer 3

Another option if your field is datetime instead of date (although it works for both cases):
$fromDate = "2016-10-01";
$toDate = "2016-10-31";
$reservations = Reservation::whereRaw(
"(reservation_from >= ? AND reservation_from <= ?)",
[
$fromDate ." 00:00:00",
$toDate ." 23:59:59"
]
)->get();

Answer 4

If you want to check if current date exist in between two dates in db:
=>here the query will get the application list if employe's application from and to date is exist in todays date.
$list= (new LeaveApplication())
->whereDate('from','<=', $today)
->whereDate('to','>=', $today)
->get();

Answer 5

The following should work:
$now = date('Y-m-d');
$reservations = Reservation::where('reservation_from', '>=', $now)
->where('reservation_from', '<=', $to)
->get();

Answer 6

If you need to have in when a datetime field should be like this.
return $this->getModel()->whereBetween('created_at', [$dateStart." 00:00:00",$dateEnd." 23:59:59"])->get();

Answer 7

Try this:
Since you are fetching based on a single column value you can simplify your query likewise:
$reservations = Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', array($from, $to))->get();
Retrieve based on condition: laravel docs
Hope this helped.

Answer 8

I followed the valuable solutions provided by other contributors and faced a minor issue no one has addressed. If the reservation_from is a datetime column then it might not produce results as expected and will miss all the records in which the date is same but time is anything above 00:00:00 time. To improve the above code a bit a small tweak is needed like so.
$from = Carbon::parse();
$to = Carbon::parse();
$from = Carbon::parse('2018-01-01')->toDateTimeString();
//Include all the results that fall in $to date as well
$to = Carbon::parse('2018-05-02')
->addHours(23)
->addMinutes(59)
->addSeconds(59)
->toDateTimeString();
//Or $to can also be like so
$to = Carbon::parse('2018-05-02')
->addHours(24)
->toDateTimeString();
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();

Answer 9

I know this might be an old question but I just found myself in a situation where I had to implement this feature in a Laravel 5.7 app. Below is what worked from me.
$articles = Articles::where("created_at",">", Carbon::now()->subMonths(3))->get();
You will also need to use Carbon
use Carbon\Carbon;

Answer 10

Here's my answer is working thank you Artisan Bay i read your comment to use wheredate()
It Worked
public function filterwallet($id,$start_date,$end_date){
$fetch = DB::table('tbl_wallet_transactions')
->whereDate('date_transaction', '>=', $start_date)
->whereDate('date_transaction', '<=', $end_date)
->get();

Answer 11

the trick is to change it :
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();
to
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', ["$from", "$to"])->get();
because the date must be in string type in mysql

Answer 12

#masoud , in Laravel, you have to request the field value from form.So,
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from',[$request->from,$request->to])->get();
And in livewire, a slight change-
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from',[$this->from,$this->to])->get();

Answer 13

you can use DB::raw('') to make the column as date MySQL with using whereBetween function as :
Reservation::whereBetween(DB::raw('DATE(`reservation_from`)'),
[$request->from,$request->to])->get();

Answer 14

Another way:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
$trans_from = date('2022-10-08');
$trans_to = date('2022-10-12');
$filter_transactions = DB::table('table_name_here')->whereBetween('created_at', [$trans_from, $trans_to])->get();

Answer 15

Let me add proper syntax with the exact timestamp
Before
$from = $request->from;
$to = $request->to;
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();
After
$from = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($request->from));
$to = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($request->to));
Reservation::whereBetween('reservation_from', [$from, $to])->get();
Note: if you stored date in string form, then make sure to pass the exact format in from and to. Which will be matched with DB.
